Helicobacter pylori and Serum Magnesium Level in Hemodialysis Patients
نویسنده
چکیده
Implication for health policy/practice/research/medical education: Gastric complications are common in hemodialysis patients, and H. pylori infection is found to have an important role in causing gastrointestinal disease in these patients. On the other hand, magnesium is mainly excreted by kidney and magnesium metabolism has deficiencies in chronic kidney disease. The association of anti-Helicobacter IgG antibody and serum magnesium level in hemodialysis patients needs to be proved in larger studies.

متن کاملHelicobacter pylori infection and serum homocysteine in hemodialysis patient
Hyperhomocysteinemia is a factor that is found to be responsible for the development of atherosclerosis in the setting of chronic Helicobacter pylori (H. Pylori) infection. In the recent years, homocysteine (Hcy) has been demonstrated to be an important contributor to atherosclerosis. This study was undertaken to elucidate whether in patients with uremia on maintenance hemodialysis (HD), the in...
