Abstract

Background and objective

The progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) involves the development of alterations in mineral metabolism that are closely related to cardiovascular outcomes and bone disease. Hypomagnesemia is associated with more rapid progression of CKD and other comorbidities. Our objective was to analyze in CKD patients stages 3-4 the impact of the administration of magnesium (Mg) carbonate on bone mineral density (BMD) and hemodynamic changes associated with by vascular calcification (VC).

Material and methods

Patients with CKD stages 3-4 were randomized into controls (n=12) or intervention (n=7) group receiving 360mg of Mg carbonate daily during a 15-month period. Parameters related to mineral metabolism, BMD, VC, and pulse wave velocity (PWV) were evaluated.

Results

Supplementation with Mg produced an increase in the urinary excretion of Mg while serum Mg levels remained stable and no episodes of hypermagnesemia were reported. In addition, no significant changes were found in the degree of VC assessed by Adragao index, however, both serum and urine Mg were significantly associated with a decrease in PWV, suggesting an increase in vascular compliance. Likewise, BMD did not change following treatment, but serum Mg significantly correlated with the levels of N-terminal propeptide of collagen alpha-1(I) chain (PINP), a marker of bone synthesis.

Conclusions

In sum, these results suggest a possible beneficial effect of Mg on vascular compliance with no detrimental effects on bone status. In addition, our results highlight the need to consider monitorization of urinary Mg status in CKD patients.
