Simple dialysis change could save thousands of lives, major trial hints

This study looks at whether raising the magnesium level in the fluid used during dialysis can help people with end-stage kidney disease live longer and avoid heart-related hospital stays. Many dialysis patients have low magnesium, which is linked to higher risks of death, heart issues, and muscle cramps. The trial involves 25,000 patients across many dialysis centers, comparing standard magnesium levels to a higher one, to see if this simple, low-cost change improves health outcomes.
