Objectives: To compare the effects of magnesium repletion by a foods-alone approach or by magnesium supplementation on urinary magnesium and citrate excretion in patients with urine magnesium <70 mg/day.
Methods: We reviewed medical records of patients in our stone prevention practice who were advised to start a magnesium supplement (Sup), 250-500 mg/d, or increase dietary magnesium consumption. We included adults with 24h UMg <70 mg, those who received magnesium recommendations (corroborated by the dietitian's clinical notes), and those with a follow-up 24h urine collection ≤18 months.
