Background: Magnesium affects the vascular tone and
response and reacts as a cofactor for acetylcholine-
induced
endothelium-dependent relaxation. Chronic kidney
disease (CKD) patients tend to have higher serum
magnesium
values than those in healthy population due to their
positive balance of magnesium in kidney. There are
several
studies which reported that serum magnesium level was
correlated with endothelial function positively. Recently it
has been reported the patients with higher serum
magnesium level revealed the less endothelial dysfunction
in CKD
patients. Thus, the following study was carried out in an
effort to redefine the relationship between serum
magnesium
level and endothelial dysfunction to those on hemodialysis
(HD) with the end-stage renal disease(ESRD).
Methods: This is a cross-sectional study and the enrolled
27 ESRD receiving HD patients were subjected to the
measurement
with iontophoresis, and FMD (flow mediated vasodilation),
IMT (intima-media thickness), which represented
endothelial function assessment from February 2011 to
September 2012. And also the average serum magnesium
level in patients was measured for the last three months
including examination month.
Results: From univariate analysis, higher serum
magnesium level was associated with better endothelium-
dependent
vasodilation (EDV) of FMD in ESRD undergoing
hemodialysis (r=0.516, p=0.007). When participants were
divided into
two groups according to median value of magnesium level
(3.466 mg/dl), there are significant difference in EDV of
FMD (less than 3.466 mg/dl, 8.26±3.13%; more than 3.466
mg/dl, 8.65±5.33%, p=0.008). Multivariate analysis
adjusted by smoking, sex, age, comorbidity including
diabetes mellitus, previous cerebrovascular accident
history
showed no significant correlation between the serum
magnesium level and EDV.
Conclusions: This study showed that higher serum
magnesium level may associate with better endothelial
function
even in ESRD undergoing HD. Furthermore, it is required a
prospective study of larger population to identify the
relationship between magnesium and endothelial function
and to establish optimal reference range of serum
magnesium
level instead of strict restriction of magnesium in ESRD on
HD patients. |
