Diabetes Mellitus Modifies the Associations of Serum Magnesium Concentration With Arterial Calcification and Stiffness in Incident Hemodialysis Patients

Introduction: Magnesium (Mg) may protect against arterial calcification. We tested the hypotheses that a higher serum Mg concentration is associated with less arterial calcification and stiffness in patients on hemodialysis (HD) and that these associations are modified by diabetes mellitus.
