Background: We aimed to determine the optimal range of discharge serum magnesium in hospitalized patients by evaluating one-year mortality risk according to discharge serum magnesium.

Methods: This was a single-center cohort study of hospitalized adult patients who survived until hospital discharge. We classified discharge serum magnesium, defined as the last serum magnesium within 48 hours of hospital discharge, into ≤1.6, 1.7-1.8, 1.9-2.0, 2.1-2.2, and ≥2.3 mg/dL. We assessed one-year mortality risk after hospital discharge based on discharge serum magnesium, using discharge magnesium of 2.1-2.2 mg/dL as the reference group.

Results: Of 39,193 eligible patients, 8%, 23%, 34%, 23%, and 12% had a serum magnesium of ≤1.6, 1.7-1.8, 1.9-2.0, 2.1-2.2, and ≥2.3 mg/dL, respectively, at hospital discharge. After the adjustment for several confounders, discharge serum magnesium of ≤1.6, 1.7-1.8, and ≥2.3 mg/dL were associated with higher one-year mortality with hazard ratio of 1.35 (95% CI 1.21-1.50), 1.14 (95% CI 1.06-1.24), and 1.17 (95% CI 1.07-1.28), respectively, compared to discharge serum magnesium of 2.1-2.2 mg/dL. There was no significant difference in one-year mortality between patients with discharge serum magnesium of 1.9-2.0 and 2.1-2.2 mg/dL.

Conclusion: The optimal range of serum magnesium at discharge was 1.9-2.2 mg/dL. Both hypomagnesemia and hypermagnesemia at discharge were associated with higher one-year mortality.

Background: Few studies have evaluated the correlation between serum uric acid (SUA) levels and the prevalence of female infertility in the general population, and the effect of magnesium intake on this correlation has not been investigated.

Methods: All participants aged 18-45 years at baseline were enrolled from the National Health and Nutritional Examination Surveys (NHANES) 2013-2018. The continuous variable of SUA was divided into quartile (Q1: ≤3.

: Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease induced by bacteria in dental plaque that can activate the host's immune-inflammatory response and invade the bloodstream. We hypothesized that a higher periodontal inflamed surface area (PISA) is associated with higher levels of inflammatory biomarkers, lower levels of antioxidants, and mitochondrial DNA copy number (mtDNAcn). : Using periodontal parameters, we calculated the PISA score, measured the levels of inflammatory biomarkers and antioxidants in the serum, and took buccal swabs for mtDNA and nuclear DNA (nDNA) extraction.

Background/objectives: Magnesium plays a crucial role in immune function, influencing immunoglobulin synthesis, antibody-dependent cytolysis, and other immune processes. In renal transplant patients, magnesium deficiency is primarily induced by calcineurin inhibitor treatment, through the reduction of magnesium transporter proteins in the renal tubules, leading to magnesium loss.

Methods: To assess the correlation between serum magnesium levels and the long-term outcomes of renal graft and transplant recipients, we conducted a retrospective study on 87 patients who have had a transplant for more than 5 years, a period considered immunologically stable.

Introduction: In chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, elevated parathyroid hormone (PTH) is linked to cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. Levels of PTH are influenced by serum phosphate (P) and calcium (Ca), but little is known about the impact of magnesium (Mg) on PTH. Hence, this study investigated the relationship between PTH and Mg in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients and non-dialysis patients from three hospitals in China.
