Dialysis magnesium mystery: pilot study seeks answers
NCT ID NCT07565779
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether adjusting the amount of magnesium in the dialysis fluid could help keep blood magnesium levels in a healthy range for people with kidney failure on hemodialysis. Fifty-four adults took part in this pilot crossover trial. The goal was to gather information, not to treat or cure the disease.
