Abstract :

OBJECTIVE The objective This study was performed to determine the correlation between serum magnesium (Mg) and lipid proﬁle in patients on maintenance hemodialysis (MHD). MATERIAL &METHOD This hospital-based cross- sectional observational study was conducted at the Department of Medicine, sree balaji medical college , chennai . Fifty patients with end-stage kidney disease on MHD treatment (29 males and 21 females) were studied. The mean frequency being two to three sessions /week of hemodialysis and each session lasted for four hours. After obtaining informed written consent, the general information of each patient was recorded on a proforma. After overnight fasting, blood samples was drawn for complete hemogram, blood urea , serum creatinine, lipid proﬁle and serum Mg. RESULTS The serum magnesium was signiﬁcantly correlated with diabetes in the study. ( P < 0.001) The mean BMI in CKD patients was 18.37 � 1.82 kg/m2 In the present study most of the CKD patients was in Stage 5. i.e. 43 cases. Total serum Cholesterol levels (>200 mg/dl) was found higher than normal in 15 cases and the mean was 174.1 � 44.62. The mean Serum Triglyceride levels was 144.54 � 58.09 mg/ dl in CKD patients and it correlated signiﬁcantly with serum magnesium. The mean HDL-C levels was 39.26 � 6.40 mg/dl were lower in CKD patients found. in 30 patients among 50 cases. Serum magnesium in CKD patients signiﬁcantly correlated with Age (P< 0.001), systolic blood pressure( p<0.001), serum Triglyceride levels (P=0.02), The mean age of the studied CKD patients was 45.46 � 15.60 years (Range 18- 76). CONCLUSION Magnesium may affect the metabolism of TG and HDL in liver and kidneys. The association of dyslipidemia with serum Mg levels is not clearly understood, and further large clinical studies are needed to understand this association better.
