There have been previous reports of hypomagnesemia associated with increased cardiovascular risk in hemodialysis patients. However, these reports were often confounded by hypomagnesemia linked to increased patient co-morbidity. Sakaguchi and colleagues now report increased patient survival, with both reduced all-cause and cardiovascular mortality for those with mild hypomagnesemia, compared to patients with both normal and low serum magnesium concentrations, and also those with moderate hypomagnesemia.
