Abstract: Magnesium is a metal, one of the eight most abundant element in universe. Magnesium also is a mineral that responsible for bone metabolism control, neural transmission, cardiac excitability, neuromuscular conduction, muscular contraction, vasomotor, and blood pressure. In chronic kidney disease stage 4-5, compensation mechanism become inadequate that caused a hypermagnesemia. Objectives: This study aimed to know the picture of magnesium serum in non dialysis CKD stage 5 in Manado. Material Methods: This is a descriptive study, conducted by selecting 35 blood samples in Nephrology-Hypertension Polyclinic and IRINA of Interna of Prof. Dr. R.D Kandou Hospital and Teling Adventist Hospital. Result: There are 16 samples (45.7%) experience hypomagnesemia consisted of 8 home-care patient (22.9%) and 8 hospital-care patient (22.9%), 10 samples (28.6%) are in normal range consisted of 3 home-care patient (8.6%) and 7 hospital-care patient (20.0%), and 9 samples (25.7%) are experience hypermagnesemia consisted of 6 home-care patient (17.1%) and 3 hospital-care patient (8.6%) from total non dialysis CKD stage 5 samples result from laboratory examination. Conclusion: Patient with hypomagnesemia most frekuent than patient with hypermagnesemia.Keywords: magnesium, chronic kidney disease, non dialysisAbstrak: Magnesium merupakan logam yang masuk dalam delapan elemen paling melimpah di alam semesta. Magnesium juga merupakan mineral yang bertanggung jawab dalam pengaturan metabolisme tulang, transmisi saraf, eksitabilitas jantung, konduksi neuromuskular, kontraksi muscular, vasomotor, dan tekanan darah. Pada penyakit ginjal kronik stadium 4-5 mekanisme kompensasi ginjal menjadi inadekuat sehingga dapat menghasilkan hipermagnesemia. Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui gambaran kadar serum magnesium pada pasien PGK non dialisis stadium 5 di Manado. Metode Penelitian: Penelitian ini adalah penelitian yang bersifat deskriptif yang dilaksanakan dengan cara mengambil sampel darah di Poliklinik Nefrologi-Hipertensi dan IRINA bagian Penyakit Dalam RSUP Prof. DR. R. D. Kandou Manado dan RS Advent Teling sebanyak 35 sampel. Hasil: Tercatat 16 orang yang mengalami hipomagnesemia (45,7%) diantaranya 8 orang pasien rawat jalan (22,9%) dan 8 orang pasien rawat inap (22,9%), 10 orang dalam batas nilai normal (28,6%) diantaranya 3 orang pasien rawat jalan (8,6%) dan 7 orang pasien rawat inap (20,0%), serta 9 orang mengalami hipermagnesemia (25,7%) diantaranya 6 orang pasien rawat jalan (17,1%) dan 3 orang pasien rawat inap (8,6%) dari total jumlah pasien terdiagnosis dokter PGK stadium 5 non dialisis yang didapatkan dari hasil pemeriksaan laboratorium. Simpulan: Frekuensi pasien yang mengalami hipomagnesemia lebih banyak dibandingkan pasien hipermagnesemiaKata kunci: magnesium, penyakit ginjal kronik, non dialisis

Background Chronic kidney disease accelerates both atherosclerosis and arterial calcification. The aim of the present study was to explore whether maximal carotid plaque thickness (cPTmax) was increased in patients with chronic kidney disease compared to controls and associated with cardiovascular disease and severity of calcification in the carotid and coronary arteries. Methods The study group consisted of 200 patients with chronic kidney disease stage 3 from the Copenhagen Chronic Kidney Disease Cohort and 121 age- and sex-matched controls. cPTmax was assessed by ultrasound and arterial calcification by computed tomography scanning. Results Carotid plaques were present in 58% of patients (n = 115) compared with 40% of controls (n = 48), p = 0.002. Among participants with plaques, cPTmax (median, interquartile range) was significantly higher in patients compared with controls (1.9 (1.4–2.3) versus 1.5 (1.2–1.8) mm), p = 0.001. Cardiovascular disease was present in 9% of patients without plaques (n = 85), 23% of patients with cPTmax 1.0–1.9 mm (n = 69) and 35% of patients with cPTmax >1.9 mm (n = 46), p = 0.001. Carotid and coronary calcium scores >400 were present in 0% and 4%, respectively, of patients with no carotid plaques, in 19% and 24% of patients with cPTmax 1.0–1.9 mm, and in 48% and 53% of patients with cPTmax >1.9 mm, p<0.001. Conclusions This is the first study showing that cPTmax is increased in patients with chronic kidney disease stage 3 compared to controls and closely associated with prevalent cardiovascular disease and severity of calcification in both the carotid and coronary arteries.

Background Several studies have revealed the relationship between serum magnesium levels and vascular calcification in chronic kidney disease patients. Despite excellent predictability of abdominal aorta calcification for cardiovascular disease events, the relationship between serum magnesium levels and abdominal aorta calcification, as evaluated by quantitative methods, in pre-dialysis patients remains unclear. This study aimed to determine the abdominal aorta calcification volume using computerized tomography and its association with serum magnesium levels in pre-dialysis chronic kidney disease stage 5 patients. Methods This single-center cross-sectional study included 100 consecutive patients with pre-dialysis chronic kidney disease stage 5 between January 2016 and May 2020 at Aichi Medical University Hospital, Japan. The relationships between serum magnesium levels and the abdominal aorta calcification volume were assessed using multiple linear regression models after adjusting for clinically relevant factors. We also assessed clinical factors that affect serum magnesium levels. Results The mean serum magnesium level was 2.0 mg/dL (interquartile range, 1.8 to 2.3). Multivariate analyses revealed that a higher serum magnesium level (stand. β = -0.245, p = 0.010) was significantly associated with a reduced abdominal aorta calcification volume, and that a history of cardiovascular disease (stand. β = 0.3792, p < 0.001) and older age (stand. β = 0.278, p = 0.007) were significantly associated with an increased abdominal aorta calcification volume. Moreover, multivariate analysis showed that the use of proton pump inhibitor or potassium-competitive acid blocker was significantly associated with lower serum magnesium levels (stand. β = -0.246, p = 0.019). Conclusions The present study revealed that the higher Mg level was significantly associated with lower volume of abdominal aorta calcification in pre-dialysis chronic kidney disease stage 5 patients. Further studies should be undertaken to determine the appropriate magnesium level to suppress vascular calcification.
