Low plasma magnesium concentration and future abdominal aortic calcifications in moderate chronic kidney disease

Low plasma magnesium concentration and future abdominal aortic calcifications in moderate chronic kidney disease

Abstract Background Higher plasma magnesium concentrations are associated with reduced cardiovascular disease risk in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. The importance of plasma magnesium concentration for vascular calcification in earlier stages of CKD remains underexplored. This study investig...
