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).

Methods: Incidence of clinical fragility fractures in 330 postmenopausal women with RA was compared to that of a control population of 660 age-matched postmenopausal Spanish women. Clinical fractures during the previous five years were recorded.
Prevalence and Associated Factors of Low Bone Mineral Density in the Femoral Neck and Total Hip in Axial Spondyloarthritis: Data from the CASTRO Cohort.

June 2021
Article Synopsis
- Studies mainly targeted the lumbar spine in axSpA patients, with fewer focusing on bone mineral density (BMD) in the hip and femoral neck.
- This research included 117 axSpA patients to assess the prevalence of low BMD and osteopenia, finding that 36% had low BMD and 56% had osteopenia.
- Key factors linked to low BMD were age, radiographic sacroiliitis, and ASAS-HI, while BMI, disease duration, and sacroiliitis were related to osteopenia.
