Hypomagnesemia is reported in patients who use proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). We investigated the effect of PPIs use on serum magnesium levels in hemodialysis patients. Our study was conducted in a hemodialysis center including 75 end stage renal disease patients. PPI use and duration were investigated. All patients were dialyzed using a dialysate magnesium level of 0.5-0.75 mmol/L. After at le...

objective: a magnesium deficiency is known to be involved in many abnormalities in the post-menopausal women. previous studies proposed that magnesium (mg) might prevent atherosclerosis. in this study the efficacy of serum magnesium level and its relation with carotid intima media thickness (cimt) in post-menopausal women was evaluated. methods: eighty iranian postmenopausal women were included...

A patient with Crohn's disease receiving vitamin D and calcium had normal serum calcium levels when serum magnesium was low. Hypercalcaemia was precipitated when supplemental magnesium was given. The reason why serum calcium was initially normal is probably related to the effect of magnesium deficiency in reducing serum calcium level.
