Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess the effect of hemodialysis (HD) on calcium and magnesium level among chronic renal failure (CRF) patients and its association with change in urea, creatinine, BMI and age. In a cross-sectional study included (n 80) patients (n 25 females and n 55 males) age ranged from (21 to 79) years old were enrolled. Timed pre and post-HD samples were collected, plasma calcium, magnesium, urea and creatinine were measured by using Cobas C311, and BMI was estimated. Paired t-test analyses showed significant decreases in mean magnesium, urea and creatinine level of post-HD samples (p = 0.000, 0.000 and 0.000) respectively, while significant increase was observed in calcium post-HD versus pre-HD sample (p =0.000). Pearson\\\'s correlation analysis showed no correlation between magnesium, calcium and study variables (creatinine, urea, age, BMI and duration of dialysis). In conclusion HD increase calcium and decrease magnesium thus could contribute to pathogenesis of related disorders in CRF patients under went HD.
