Abstract
Background: The chronic kidney disease (CKD) is consider for the majority
of global morbidity and mortality, rather than infectious disease. More than 2
million people die prematurely every year because treatment for kidney
failure is unavailable, the hypermagnesiumia is developed in CKD when the
GFR less than the normal range.
Objective: the aim of this study was to assess the serum magnesium level
among Sudanese patients with chronic renal failure.
Materials and methods: the study was case control hospital based study
conducted in Noor Elhuda center_ Khartoum state. 100 subjects were
enrolled. Fifty (50) individuals will be selected from police hospital as
patients with chronic renal failure. And fifly (50) healthy individual as control
group. Level of magnesium was measured by using mindray analyzer.
Results: The results were showed a significant increase in serum magnesium
level in patients with chronic renal failure, when compare with control group
(2.22i0.9l) (l.78i0.29)p value (0.002) respectively.
Conclusion: The study was observed that, significant increase of serum
magnesium level in chronic renal failure patients. There was show positive
correlation between magnesium and creatinine levels.
