A Comprehensive Review on Understanding Magnesium Disorders: Pathophysiology, Clinical Manifestations, and Management Strategies. Cureus 2024; 16:e68385. [PMID: 39355467 PMCID: PMC11444808 DOI: 10.7759/cureus.68385] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/20/2024] [Accepted: 09/01/2024] [Indexed: 10/03/2024] Open
Abstract
Magnesium is vital in a broad spectrum of physiological processes, including enzyme activity, energy production, and neuromuscular function. Despite its crucial role, magnesium disorders - comprising both deficiency (hypomagnesemia) and excess (hypermagnesemia) - are frequently underrecognized and inadequately managed in clinical practice. Magnesium deficiency is widespread, particularly among populations with chronic illnesses, the elderly, and those experiencing malnutrition, often leading to significant neuromuscular, cardiovascular, and metabolic complications. Conversely, hypermagnesemia, though less common, poses serious risks, especially in individuals with impaired renal function or those receiving high doses of magnesium supplements or medications. This review comprehensively examines magnesium disorders, detailing their pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, and management strategies. It highlights the essential functions of magnesium in maintaining cellular integrity, cardiovascular health, and bone structure and discusses the global prevalence and risk factors associated with magnesium imbalances. By offering insights into the current understanding of magnesium homeostasis and its disruptions, this review aims to enhance the awareness and treatment of magnesium-related conditions, ultimately improving patient outcomes across diverse clinical settings.

Feng C, Peng C, Li C. Association between magnesium depletion score and stroke in US adults with chronic kidney disease: A population-based study. J Stroke Cerebrovasc Dis 2024; 33:107963. [PMID: 39187213 DOI: 10.1016/j.jstrokecerebrovasdis.2024.107963] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2024] [Revised: 08/17/2024] [Accepted: 08/20/2024] [Indexed: 08/28/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Magnesium ion metabolism disorder is pervasive in the chronic kidney disease population, which is affected by many factors. Magnesium ion plays an important role in maintaining vascular functional integrity.. The Magnesium Depletion Score (MDS), serving as a novel metric for the assessment of magnesium deficiency, has not been thoroughly investigated for its association with stroke in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Therefore, this study aims to explore the relationship between the MDS index and stroke in CKD patients. METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional population-based study using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2009-2016 to explore the impact of MDS on the stroke outcome of CKD patients. The primary outcome was the risk of stroke in CKD patients. Sample-weighted multivariate logistic regression was used in our analysis. RESULTS In this study of 3536 CKD patients from the database, we found an 8.6 % prevalence of stroke with higher stroke risk in older individuals and males. Lower dietary magnesium intake and higher MDS scores were significantly associated with stroke risk. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed a dose-dependent relationship between MDS scores and stroke likelihood, independent of demographic and clinical factors. Subgroup analysis confirmed these findings, particularly in those with hypertension, diabetes, and obesity, without significant interactions (all p > 0.05). CONCLUSION Magnesium depletion is independently associated with a heightened stroke risk in chronic kidney disease patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The study aims to investigate the relationship between hypomagnesemia, preclinical hypomagnesemia, and normomagnesemia as along with geriatric syndrome and comprehensive geriatric parameters(CGA). METHODS 217 patients who applied to the geriatric clinic between November 2022 and December 2023 were included in the study. All patients underwent CGA. Patients were categorized into three groups: Magnesium (Mg) level ≤ 1.5 mg/dL, Mg level 1.5-1.8 mg/dL, and Mg level > 1.8 mg/dL. These three groups were compared in terms of demographic characteristics, comorbidities, CGA parameters, and geriatric syndromes. Regression analyses was conducted for significant parameters, adjusting for confounders. RESULTS 74.9% of all participants were female, with an average age of 76.5 ± 6.6 years. The frequency of hypomagnesemia was 14.2%. Demographic characteristics and medication use, including proton pump inhibitors and diuretics, were similar in these three groups. While the FRIED frailty scale and the duration of the timed-up-and-go test were higher in the hypomagnesemia group, the Basic Activities Daily of Living (ADLs) and the Tinetti-POMA(performance-oriented mobility assessment) scores were lower in the hypomagnesemia group. When normomagnesemia was accepted as the reference category, FRIED frailty scale, Basic ADLs, and POMA score were more significant in the hypomagnesemia group (p = 0.025, p = 0.013 and p = 0.011,respectively), but there was no significance in the preclinical hypomagnesemia group regardless of the covariates. CONCLUSION Hypomagnesemia, particularly serum Mg levels below 1.5 mg/dL, may be associated with frailty, basic ADLs, gait, and balance tests. In geriatric practice, patients with hypomagnesemia should be evaluated in terms of the risk of the mentioned disorders.

[PMID: 38064361 PMCID: PMC10800217 DOI: 10.1111/jvim.16963] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/03/2022] [Accepted: 11/17/2023] [Indexed: 01/23/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypomagnesemia is associated with a poor prognosis in humans with congestive heart failure (CHF), but studies in veterinary medicine are limited. HYPOTHESIS Serum ionized magnesium concentration [iMg2+ ] would decrease as CHF progresses compared with the initial diagnostic levels and that lower [iMg2+ ] would be negatively associated with prognosis in dogs with CHF. ANIMALS A total of 181 client-owned dogs with myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD) were included. They were classified into the preclinical stage (NO-CHF, n = 108), stage C (n = 42), and stage D (n = 31) based on the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine MMVD classification. METHODS This is a retrospective study from 2 referral centers. The [iMg2+ ] was compared among the NO-CHF, stage C, and stage D groups. Kaplan-Meier curves and the log-rank test were used to compare the incidence of death between groups. Multivariable Cox regression analysis was used to estimate the association of hypomagnesemia with the death. RESULTS In the stage D group, the [iMg2+ ] was lower than that in the NO-CHF (P < .0001) and stage C groups (P < .003). In the Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, the 1-year cumulative survival rate in hypomagnesemic dogs was 53% compared with 91.5% in normomagnesemic dogs (log-rank test, P < .0001). In the multivariable Cox analysis, lower concentration of [K+ ] and [iMg2+ ], along with higher Evel , were associated with negative prognoses. Specifically, hypomagnesemia was associated with an approximately 4-fold increased risk of death (hazard ratio = 4.015; 95% confidence interval, 1.537-10.488; P = .005). CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE Assessing the [iMg2+ ] might serve as a potential marker for estimating the severity and prognosis indirectly in dogs with MMVD. Combining [iMg2+ ] measurement with other diagnostic methods, such as echocardiography, could improve the prognostic evaluation of MMVD in dogs.

Abstract
As the second most abundant intracellular divalent cation, magnesium (Mg2+) is essential for cell functions, such as ATP production, protein/DNA synthesis, protein activity, and mitochondrial function. Mg2+ plays a critical role in heart rhythm, muscle contraction, and blood pressure. A significant decline in Mg2+ intake has been reported in developed countries because of the increased consumption of processed food and filtered/deionized water, which can lead to hypomagnesemia (HypoMg). HypoMg is commonly observed in cardiovascular diseases, such as heart failure, hypertension, arrhythmias, and diabetic cardiomyopathy, and HypoMg is a predictor for cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. On the other hand, Mg2+ supplementation has shown significant therapeutic effects in cardiovascular diseases. Some of the effects of HypoMg have been ascribed to changes in Mg2+ participation in enzyme activity, ATP stabilization, enzyme kinetics, and alterations in Ca2+, Na+, and other cations. In this manuscript, we discuss new insights into the pathogenic mechanisms of HypoMg that surpass previously described effects. HypoMg causes mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and inflammation. Many of these effects can be attributed to the HypoMg-induced upregulation of a Mg2+ transporter transient receptor potential melastatin 7 channel (TRMP7) that is also a kinase. An increase in kinase signaling mediated by HypoMg-induced TRPM7 transcriptional upregulation, independently of any change in Mg2+ transport function, likely seems responsible for many of the effects of HypoMg. Therefore, Mg2+ supplementation and TRPM7 kinase inhibition may work to treat the sequelae of HypoMg by preventing increased TRPM7 kinase activity rather than just altering ion homeostasis. Since many diseases are characterized by oxidative stress or inflammation, Mg2+ supplementation and TRPM7 kinase inhibition may have wider implications for other diseases by acting to reduce oxidative stress and inflammation.

Abstract
A large amount of published research points to the interesting concept (hypothesis) that magnesium (Mg) status may have relevance for the outcome of COVID-19 and that Mg could be protective during the COVID disease course. As an essential element, Mg plays basic biochemical, cellular, and physiological roles required for cardiovascular, immunological, respiratory, and neurological functions. Both low serum and dietary Mg have been associated with the severity of COVID-19 outcomes, including mortality; both are also associated with COVID-19 risk factors such as older age, obesity, type 2 diabetes, kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and asthma. In addition, populations with high rates of COVID-19 mortality and hospitalization tend to consume diets high in modern processed foods, which are generally low in Mg. In this review, we review the research to describe and consider the possible impact of Mg and Mg status on COVID-19 showing that (1) serum Mg between 2.19 and 2.26 mg/dL and dietary Mg intakes > 329 mg/day could be protective during the disease course and (2) inhaled Mg may improve oxygenation of hypoxic COVID-19 patients. In spite of such promise, oral Mg for COVID-19 has thus far been studied only in combination with other nutrients. Mg deficiency is involved in the occurrence and aggravation of neuropsychiatric complications of COVID-19, including memory loss, cognition, loss of taste and smell, ataxia, confusion, dizziness, and headache. Potential of zinc and/or Mg as useful for increasing drug therapy effectiveness or reducing adverse effect of anti-COVID-19 drugs is reviewed. Oral Mg trials of patients with COVID-19 are warranted.

Association between hypomagnesemia and mortality among dialysis patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis. PeerJ 2022; 10:e14203. [PMID: 36248710 PMCID: PMC9563282 DOI: 10.7717/peerj.14203] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/13/2022] [Accepted: 09/19/2022] [Indexed: 01/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Malnutrition-inflammation-atherosclerosis (MIA) syndrome is caused by the inflammatory cytokines in end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients, and MIA complex-related factors may be associated with hypomagnesemia and mortality. However, the association between serum magnesium level and mortality for dialysis patients is still not clear. Additionally, no meta-analysis has investigated the impact of serum magnesium on peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis, separately. Methods We searched published studies in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, Collaboration Central Register of Controlled Clinical Trials, and Cochrane Systematic Reviews through April 2022. Studies associated with serum magnesium and all-cause mortality or cardiovascular (CV) mortality in ESRD on kidney replacement therapy (KRT) patients were included. A hazard ratio (HR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) was used to report the outcomes. Results Twenty-one studies involving 55,232 patients were included. Overall, there was a significant association between hypomagnesemia and all-cause mortality for dialysis patients (HR: 1.67, 95% CI [1.412-2.00], p < 0.001; certainty of evidence: moderate) using a mixed unadjusted and adjusted HR for analysis. There was also a significantly increased risk of CV mortality for individuals with hypomagnesemia compared with the non-hypomagnesemia group (HR 1.56, 95% CI [1.08-2.25], p < 0.001; certainty of evidence: moderate). In addition, a subgroup analysis demonstrated that hypomagnesemia was associated with a high risk of both all-cause mortality and CV mortality (all-cause mortality, HR:1.80, 95% CI [1.48-2.19]; CV mortality, HR:1.84, 95% CI [1.10-3.07]) in hemodialysis (HD) patients, but not in participants receiving peritoneal dialysis (PD; all-cause mortality, HR:1.26, 95% CI [0.84-1.91]; CV mortality, HR:0.66, 95% CI [0.22-2.00]). The systematic review protocol was prespecified and registered in PROSPERO [CRD42021256187]. Conclusions Hypomagnesemia may be a significant risk factor for all-cause mortality and CV mortality in KRT patients, especially in those receiving hemodialysis. However, because of the limited certainty of evidence, more studies are required to investigate this association.

Abstract
Patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection are at an increased risk of cardiovascular and thrombotic complications conferring an extremely poor prognosis. COVID-19 infection is known to be an independent risk factor for acute ischemic stroke and myocardial infarction (MI). We developed a risk assessment model (RAM) to stratify hospitalized COVID-19 patients for arterial thromboembolism (ATE). This multicenter, retrospective study included adult COVID-19 patients admitted between 3/1/2020 and 9/5/2021. Among 3531 patients from the training cohort, 15.5% developed acute in-hospital ATE, including stroke, MI, and other ATE, compared to 13.4% in the validation cohort. The 16-item final score was named SARS-COV-ATE (Sex: male = 1, Age [40–59 = 2, > 60 = 4], Race: non-African American = 1, Smoking = 1 and Systolic blood pressure elevation = 1, Creatinine elevation = 1; Over the range: leukocytes/lactate dehydrogenase/interleukin-6, B-type natriuretic peptide = 1, Vascular disease (cardiovascular/cerebrovascular = 1), Aspartate aminotransferase = 1, Troponin-I [> 0.04 ng/mL = 1, troponin-I > 0.09 ng/mL = 3], Electrolytes derangement [magnesium/potassium = 1]). RAM had a good discrimination (training AUC 0.777, 0.756–0.797; validation AUC 0.766, 0.741–0.790). The validation cohort was stratified as low-risk (score 0–8), intermediate-risk (score 9–13), and high-risk groups (score ≥ 14), with the incidence of ATE 2.4%, 12.8%, and 33.8%, respectively. Our novel prediction model based on 16 standardized, commonly available parameters showed good performance in identifying COVID-19 patients at risk for ATE on admission.

Abstract
Mung bean proteins (MBPs) are highly nutritious food ingredients, but their lack of gluten limits their use in staple foods such as noodles. In this study, MBPs were modified by hydrothermal treatment, and their gel properties and the major structural changes were analyzed at different heating temperatures (25, 65, 75, 85, 95, and 105°C), moisture contents (0, 15, 20, 25, 30, and 35%), and hydrothermal treatment times (0, 15, 30, 45, 60, and 75 min). Thereafter, the modified MBPs (MMBPs) were added to wheat noodles at substitution levels of 3, 6, and 9% to evaluate their effect on the quality of the noodles. The results showed that the hydrothermal treatment significantly improved the gel properties and water absorption capacity of the MBPs and slightly increased their disulfide bond content. When MBPs with a 25% moisture content were heated at 85°C for 60 min, their gel properties notably improved, and their structural changes were maximal. The structural changes revealed that the MBP molecule formed a macromolecular polymer because a significant protein band appeared at about 66.2 kDa. Secondary structure and microstructure analyses revealed that the MBP structure was significantly damaged and that the β-sheet structure increased because of changes in the degree of aggregation between the protein molecules. Compared to the untreated MBPs, the MMBPs significantly improved the cooking quality and texture properties of the noodles, and the addition amount reached more than 6%, whereas that of the untreated MBPs was less than 3%. At this time, the cooking loss and the broken rate of the untreated MBPs group were about 2 times higher than that of the 6% MMBP-treated group. An analysis of changes in the water distribution, rheological properties, and microstructure revealed that intermolecular cross-linking occurred between the MMBPs and wheat dough, which improved the quality of the MMBP-treated noodles. The findings demonstrated that the MMBPs obtained by hydrothermal treatment had a positive effect on the wheat dough properties and noodle quality. These results provide a technical foundation for incorporating novel protein supplements into staple foods.

Abstract
Menopause imposes a dramatic fall in estrogens, which is followed by an increase in the proportion of fat. The rising androgen/estrogen ratio along the menopause transition favors the accumulation of central fat, which contributes to insulin resistance and a series of concatenated effects, leading to a higher incidence of metabolic syndrome. The modulatory effect of diet on the metabolic syndrome phenotype has been shown for the Mediterranean diet, and nuts are key determinants of these health benefits. This review of the impact of nuts on the risk factors of the metabolic syndrome cluster examined studies—prioritizing meta-analyses and systemic reviews—to summarize the potential benefits of nut ingestion on the risk of metabolic syndrome associated with menopause. Nuts have a general composition profile that includes macronutrients, with a high proportion of unsaturated fat, bioactive compounds, and fiber. The mechanisms set in motion by nuts have shown different levels of efficacy against the disturbances associated with metabolic syndrome, but a beneficial impact on lipids and carbohydrate metabolism, and a potential, but minimal reduction in blood pressure and fat accumulation have been found.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with different complications, including chronic kidney disease–mineral and bone disorder (CKD–MBD), which represents a systemic disorder that involves the presence of different mineral or bone structure abnormalities (i.e., modification of bone turnover, strength, volume, etc.), including even vascular calcification development. Even if, over the years, different pathophysiological theories have been developed to explain the onset and progression of CKD–MBD, the influence and importance of serum magnesium level on the evolution of CKD have only recently been highlighted. So far, data are inconclusive and conflicting; therefore, further studies are necessary to validate these findings, which could be useful in developing a better, more adequate, and personalized management of CKD patients.

Abstract
Purpose In less than one and a half year, the COVID-19 pandemic has nearly brought to a collapse our health care and economic systems. The scientific research community has concentrated all possible efforts to understand the pathogenesis of this complex disease, and several groups have recently emphasized recommendations for nutritional support in COVID-19 patients. In this scoping review, we aim at encouraging a deeper appreciation of magnesium in clinical nutrition, in view of the vital role of magnesium and the numerous links between the pathophysiology of SARS-CoV-2 infection and magnesium-dependent functions. Methods By searching PubMed and Google Scholar from 1990 to date, we review existing evidence from experimental and clinical studies on the role of magnesium in chronic non-communicable diseases and infectious diseases, and we focus on recent reports of alterations of magnesium homeostasis in COVID-19 patients and their association with disease outcomes. Importantly, we conduct a census on ongoing clinical trials specifically dedicated to disclosing the role of magnesium in COVID-19. Results Despite many methodological limitations, existing data seem to corroborate an association between deranged magnesium homeostasis and COVID-19, and call for further and better studies to explore the prophylactic or therapeutic potential of magnesium supplementation. Conclusion We propose to reconsider the relevance of magnesium, frequently overlooked in clinical practice. Therefore, magnesemia should be monitored and, in case of imbalanced magnesium homeostasis, an appropriate nutritional regimen or supplementation might contribute to protect against SARS-CoV-2 infection, reduce severity of COVID-19 symptoms and facilitate the recovery after the acute phase.

Abstract
Since the early days of the pandemic, there have been several reports of cerebrovascular complications during the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. Numerous studies proposed a role for SARS-CoV-2 in igniting stroke. In this review, we focused on the pathoetiology of stroke among the infected patients. We pictured the results of the SARS-CoV-2 invasion to the central nervous system (CNS) via neuronal and hematogenous routes, in addition to viral infection in peripheral tissues with extensive crosstalk with the CNS. SARS-CoV-2 infection results in pro-inflammatory cytokine and chemokine release and activation of the immune system, COVID-19-associated coagulopathy, endotheliitis and vasculitis, hypoxia, imbalance in the renin-angiotensin system, and cardiovascular complications that all may lead to the incidence of stroke. Critically ill patients, those with pre-existing comorbidities and patients taking certain medications, such as drugs with elevated risk for arrhythmia or thrombophilia, are more susceptible to a stroke after SARS-CoV-2 infection. By providing a pictorial narrative review, we illustrated these associations in detail to broaden the scope of our understanding of stroke in SARS-CoV-2-infected patients. We also discussed the role of antiplatelets and anticoagulants for stroke prevention and the need for a personalized approach among patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Abstract
AbstractRampant use of groundwater for drinking purposes in several parts of the world has raised the concern over its quality. Owing to increasing population, overuse, and pollution of surface water sources, the use of groundwater has increased to considerable extent. Despite this, little attention is paid towards the monitoring of groundwater resources to assess their suitability for drinking purposes. To assess the groundwater quality in rural areas of Ujjain District of Madhya Pradesh, India, in order to check its suitability for drinking purpose, water quality analysis was done at seven time points during the two study years in six villages of Ujjain District, Central India. A total of 868 groundwater samples from 124 households were collected, and standard analytical methods were employed for analysis. Overall groundwater quality of the area is good and qualified for drinking. However, occurrence of high amount of dissolved solids (> 800 mg/L) and hardness (> 400 mg/L) is the issue of concern, as long-term use of such water might result in variety of health ailments, such as kidney stones and atopic dermatitis in children. Regular monitoring and long-term surveillance of drinking water sources are necessary to keep track of the changes occurring in the system.

Abstract
Hypomagnesemia is commonly observed in heart failure, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and cardiovascular diseases. Low serum magnesium (Mg) is a predictor for cardiovascular and all-cause mortality and treating Mg deficiency may help prevent cardiovascular disease. In this review, we discuss the possible mechanisms by which Mg deficiency plays detrimental roles in cardiovascular diseases and review the results of clinical trials of Mg supplementation for heart failure, arrhythmias and other cardiovascular diseases.

Relationships between Nut Size, Kernel Quality, Nutritional Composition and Levels of Outcrossing in Three Macadamia Cultivars. PLANTS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2020; 9:E228.

Abstract
Tree nuts play an important role in healthy diets, but their economic value and nutritional quality may be affected by their size and paternity. We assessed relationships between nut size and kernel recovery, the incidence of whole kernels, fatty acid composition and mineral nutrient concentrations in three macadamia cultivars, "Daddow", "816" and "A4". We determined to what extent differences in nut size and quality were the result of different levels of cross- or self-paternity. Small nuts of all cultivars had lower kernel recovery than large nuts, and small nuts provided lower incidence of whole kernels in "Daddow" and "A4". Small kernels had a lower relative abundance of the saturated fatty acid, palmitic acid, in all cultivars and higher relative abundance of the unsaturated fatty acid, oleic acid, in "Daddow" and "A4". Small kernels had higher concentrations of many essential nutrients such as nitrogen and calcium, although potassium concentrations were lower in small kernels. Most nuts arose from cross-pollination. Therefore, nut size and kernel quality were not related to different levels of cross- and self-paternity. Identified cross-paternity was 88%, 78% and 90%, and identified self-paternity was 3%, 2% and 0%, for "Daddow", "816" and "A4", respectively. Small macadamia kernels are at least as nutritious as large macadamia kernels. High levels of cross-paternity confirmed that many macadamia cultivars are predominantly outcrossing. Macadamia growers may need to closely inter-plant cultivars and manage beehives to maximise cross-pollination.
