The predictive value of time-averaged cumulative magnesium on survival of maintenance hemodialysis patients

Puntos clave

• Survival rates significantly improved with higher magnesium exposure over time, enhancing patient outcomes.
• Patients with time-averaged cumulative magnesium above a certain threshold showed a notable survival advantage of up to 25%.
• Analysis involved multiple hemodialysis centers over a five-year period, assessing patient magnesium levels and survival data.
• Findings highlight the need for magnesium monitoring in hemodialysis protocols, potentially improving patient care.
