Background

24h Urinary magnesium concentration (24h UMg), an indicator of intestinal magnesium absorption, may provide a better insight in the connection of CKD progression.

Methods

We examined 3179 participants aged 18 to 74 years pre-dialysis patients in the Chinese Cohort Study of Chronic Kidney Disease (C-STRIDE) study. We performed a time-to-event analysis of the data using Kaplan-Meier Survival model, Cox proportional hazard and competing risks Fine and Gray sub-distribution hazard models.

Results

During the median follow-up of 4.19 (IQR 3.432-5.09) years, lower incidence rate of ESRD events was observed with increases in 24h UMg (Figure 1). Higher incidence rate of CVD events was seen with increase in 24 h UMg (Figure 2). After adjustment for demographic and traditional ESRD risk factors, 24h UMg was strongly associated with risk of CVD (HR of 1.509 [95% CI 1.031-2.208])(Table 1).

Conclusion

24h UMg risk variants display a modest association with CVD in pre-dialysis CKD patients.
