Magnesium supplementation helps to improve carotid intima media thickness in patients on hemodialysis.
Turgut F et al.
Int Urol Nephrol. 2008 Jun 21. [Epub ahead of print]
In haemodialysis patients, magnesium supplementation (magnesium citrate orally at a dosage of 610 mg every other day for 2 months) significantly improved bilateral carotid intima media thickness. These findings indicate that magnesium may play an important protective role in the progression of atherosclerosis in patients on dialysis.
