Proton pump inhibitor use and its relation to serum magnesium levels among hemodialysis patients: A single centre study in a South Indian tertiary care hospital

Abstract

Introduction Proton pump inhibitors PPI are commonly used in clinical practice for various indications such as gastritis peptic ulcer and gastroesophageal reflux disease In Observational studies Hypomagnesaemia has been associated with PPI use in general population Hypomagnesaemia is a significant predictor of mortality especially in HD patients There is a lack of data regarding association of PPI with hypomagnesemia in dialysis population Materials and Method Study was conducted in Tertiary care hospital using a pre dialysis serum samples by colorimetrickit method Mean of two consecutive serum Mg levels measured at 6 weeks interval was calculated for further analysis Clinical demographic data along with duration of PPI use in months were recorded Patients on diuretics chronic diarrhoea and HD for Acute Kidney Injury were excluded Student ttest was used for comparison between PPI users and non userssinglecentre observational design on 87 prevalent HD patients on twice weekly and thrice weekly maintenance HD with regular PPI use for 2 weeks Serum Magnesium Mg level was determined using Results55 patients were on Proton Pump Inhibitors at the time of study All patients were dialyzed with dialysate Mg of 12mgdL 07 mmolL Average duration of PPIs use was 6 months 6 145 months Serum Mg levels among PPI users was 25 mgdL and nonusers was 24 mgdL No correlation was found between serum Mg levels and duration of PPIs use p 08Conclusion In our study we did not find any association between hypomagnesemia and PPI use in hemodialysis patients As our study was single centered small population with short follow up further well defined long term Randomized controlled trials on Mg levels with PPI use are neededKeywordsHypomagnesemia Proton pump inhibitor Chronic kidney disease Hemodialysis
