We carried out this retrospective study to examine the magnesium status of our chronic ambulat- ory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients dialyzed with 0.75 mmol/L (group I) or 0.50 mmol/L (group II) magnesium peritoneal dialysis solution. A total of 34 anuric patients on CAPD (age: 31–72 years; duration of CAPD: 7–74 months) were studied. None of them received magnesium-containing phosphate binders or vitamin D. Biochemical parameters including magnesium, calcium, phosphate, parathormone, and albumin were measured in all patients. The corrected for hypoalbuminemia serum magnesium concentration in group I was significantly higher compared to that found in group II. However, there were no significant differences in the other measured parameters between the two groups of CAPD patients, though iPTH levels were somewhat increased in group II patients. Serum magnesium levels were weakly correlated with serum prealbumin levels in both groups of CAPD patients (r=0.16, P =0.08 and r=0.17, P =0.07). The incidence of hypermagnesemia was significantly higher in group I patients versus those in group II (13/19 68.4%] vs. 2/15 13.3%], P < 0.01). On the other hand, no patient developed hypomagnesemia (corrected total magnesium <0.65 mmol/L), despite the trend toward decreased magnesium levels in group II patients. Our results point out that serum iPTH levels and nutritional parameters, such as prealbumin levels, should be taken into account in the choice of the magnesium concentration of the peritoneal dialysis fluid.
