Lower serum magnesium level is an important risk factor for erythropoiesis-stimulating agents hypo-responsiveness in hemodialysis patients by Hayam Hebah, Shaimaa Abdelmegied, Dina Osman, Lina Khedr

“…Low serum magnesium was positively correlated with hemoglobin and transferrin saturation (p-value 0.019, 0.001) respectively while it negatively correlated with PTH and ERI (p-value < 0.001, 0.001) respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed that low serum magnesium has been an independent risk for ERI 5 times with odds ratio (OR = 5.159 and p-value < 0.001). …”
