Abstract

Objective: To investigate plasma magnesium (Mg) concentrations in patients with end-stage chronic kidney disease (ECKD) and their relationship with selected anthropometric and biochemical parameters. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study with a control comparison was conducted at Military Hospital 103, Military Academy from 2024 to 2025. The study included three groups: control group (n = 50), pre-dialysis group (ECKD patients admitted for preparation for dialysis, not yet on dialysis; n = 20), and dialysis group (ECKD patients undergoing dialysis; n = 100). Results: There was a difference in the distribution of plasma Mg status (high, low, normal) among the study groups. Hypomagnesemia was more common in the pre-dialysis group (20.0%) and the dialysis group (13.0%) compared with the control group (6.0%), while the highest rate of hypermagnesemia was observed in the dialysis group (22.0%) (p = 0.007). In the ECKD dialysis group, plasma Mg concentrations were higher in females than in males (p = 0.019). No associations were found between plasma Mg and age, BMI, or biochemical indices including urea, creatinine, uric acid, albumin, and total plasma protein. Conclusions: The study demonstrated differences in the distribution of plasma Mg status (high, low, normal) between the groups. Among ECKD patients on dialysis, females had higher plasma Mg concentrations than males.
