Dietary Magnesium Intake and Proteinuria: Is There a Relationship?

What Was Tested

Researchers studied Vitamin D, K2, Magnesium and Zinc in this randomized controlled trial publication.

Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the independent relationship between dietary magnesium intake and urinary protein excretion.

Why It Was Studied

However, human studies on this association are limited.

The present study was a post hoc analysis of the previous randomized clinical trial that evaluated the effect of dietary phosphorus restriction on proteinuria.

Who Took Part

The abstract describes 90 participants taking part.

The age groups tagged for this paper are adults, middle-aged adults and older adults, both men and women.

How the Study Was Run

The researchers set it up as a randomized study.

Because people in this Vitamin D, K2, Magnesium and Zinc study were split into groups at random, differences between the groups are less likely to reflect who happened to join each one.

Urinary protein to creatinine ratio (UPCR) in a random urine sample was measured to be a marker for proteinuria.

What Was Measured

The present study was a post hoc analysis of the previous randomized clinical trial that evaluated the effect of dietary phosphorus restriction on proteinuria.

The baseline data of 90 participants with proteinuria and chronic kidney disease was used to measure the association between dietary magnesium intake and proteinuria.

The subject headings attached to it are Proteinuria, Magnesium, Diet and Creatinine.

Author keywords: Chronic kidney disease and Cross-sectional.

What This Means in Plain Language

The paper is a randomized study of Vitamin D, K2, Magnesium and Zinc in 90 participants.

The publication is from 2024 (Biological trace element research), a journal based in United States.
