Clinical impact of hypermagnesemia in acute kidney injury patients undergoing continuous kidney replacement therapy: A propensity score analysis utilizing real-world data.

Article Synopsis
- - The study explores how high magnesium levels (hypermagnesemia) affect patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) who are receiving continuous kidney replacement therapy (CKRT), noting that while low magnesium levels are known to increase AKI risk, the effects of high levels were unclear.
- - Analysis of data from over 2,600 patients revealed that those with hypermagnesemia had a similar chance of recovering kidney function as those with normal magnesium levels, but faced higher risks of death and heart issues within a year.
- - The findings indicate that high magnesium levels in AKI patients on CKRT do not lead to better kidney recovery and are associated with negative health outcomes, highlighting the importance of monitoring magnesium levels in these patients.
Prevalence, clinical characteristics, and health outcomes of dysmagnesemia measured by ionized and total body concentrations among medically hospitalized patients.

Article Synopsis
- * Results showed iMg had lower prevalence of hypomagnesemia (3.4%) and higher prevalence of hypermagnesemia (26.6%) compared to tMg, with a strong correlation between the two measurements.
- * Increased tMg was linked to worse health outcomes including higher rates of cardiac arrest and mortality, while iMg did not show significant associations, indicating the need for further research on magnesium's impact in clinical settings.
A case of acute lithium poisoning and hypermagnesemia involving advanced colon cancer-induced colonic obstruction.
Oxf Med Case Reports
September 2024
Division of Gastroenterology, NHO Kanazawa Medical Center, 1-1 Shimoishibikimachi, Kanazawa, Ishikawa 920-0939, Japan.
Article Synopsis
- An 83-year-old woman experienced a decline in consciousness and hand tremors, linked to lithium poisoning, hypermagnesemia, and acute kidney injury due to her medications for bipolar disorder and constipation.
- A CT scan revealed a colonic obstruction caused by cancer, which contributed to her severe symptoms like low blood pressure and bradycardia (slow heart rate).
- The patient was successfully treated with fluid resuscitation, hemodialysis, and an endoscopic stent for her cancer, resulting in improvements to her overall health and the resolution of her toxic conditions.
Serum Magnesium Levels and QTc Interval Prolongation As Prognostic Markers in Acute Myocardial Infarction: A Randomized Controlled Study.

General Medicine, Sri Ramaswamy Memorial (SRM) Medical College Hospital and Research Centre, Chengalpattu, IND.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between serum magnesium levels, QTc intervals, and the occurrence of arrhythmias in patients experiencing acute myocardial infarction (AMI) within the first 48 hours of hospitalization.
- It analyzes data from AMI patients, finding that those aged 51-60 years are more susceptible to arrhythmias, with a notable prevalence in females despite a higher overall AMI incidence in males.
- Results indicate a significant correlation between QTc prolongation and arrhythmias, with patients displaying abnormal magnesium levels having different arrhythmia occurrences, highlighting the importance of monitoring these metrics for better prognosis in AMI cases.
Pancytopenia Concurrent With Metabolic Encephalopathy.

Family Medicine, Trinity Health Family Medicine, Grand Rapids, USA.
Pancytopenia is a decrease in the number of cells in all peripheral blood cell lines and has been associated with anemias, cancers, chemotherapy, infections, and nutritional deficiencies. However, pancytopenia concurrent with encephalopathy is rare and not well-studied. We present a case of pancytopenia concurrent with metabolic encephalopathy.
