Relationship between the Serum Parathyroid Hormone and Magnesium Levels in Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis CAPD Patients using Low - magnesium Peritoneal Dialysate

Abstract

Among the CAPD patients whose serum iPTH level was less than 300 pg/mL, there was a significant inverse correlation between serum iPTH level and serum magnesium level. This study indicates that not only serum calcium level but also serum magnesium level are important in the regulation of serum iPTH levels of CAPD patients who have been dialyzed by low-magnesium peritoneal dialysate.
