chronic kidney disease, end-stage renal disease chronische nierziekte, eindstadium nierfalen
Conditions
Interventions
Stepwise increase of magnesium concentration in the dialysate:
- Week 0: continuation of standard 0.50 mmol/L dialysate magnesium
- Week 1, 2, 3, 4: dialysate magnesium 0.75 mmol/L
- Week 5, 6, 7,
dialysate magnesium 0.75 mmol/L if pre-dialysis plasma Mg 1.15 or above in week 4
- Week 9: dialysate magnesium concentration reduction of 0.25 mmol/L (to either 0.75 mmol/L or 0.50 mmol/L)
- Week 1

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: - Age 18 years or above - Hemodialysis with regular three times weekly dialysis schedule - Hemodialysis since at least 3 months - Standard dialysate Mg2+ 0.50 mmol/L - Providing informed consent - Pre-dialysis plasma magnesium concentration not higher than 1.00 mmol/L
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: - Intravenous magnesium supplementation (including total parenteral nutrition) in the last 2 weeks - Expected cessation of dialysis treatment within three months after inclusion or expected permanent or temporary dialysis center switch to a center not participating in the trial within three months after inclusion. - Prolongation of QTc interval: male >450ms or female >460ms on baseline ECG - Bradycardia: heart rate below 60 beats per minute on baseline ECG - Chronic arrythmia or cardiac conduction disorder other than atrial fibrillation or ventricular extrasystole that poses the patient at risk at the discretion of the treating physician. - Change of protonpumpinhibitor prescription in the last 2 weeks
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - The difference between plasma magnesium concentration after the long interdialytic interval in the intervention group with incremental dialysate magnesium concentration and plasma magnesium concentration in the control group with standard dialysate magnesium concentration at the end of week 8. - The difference in change of plasma magnesium concentration after the long interdialytic interval from baseline to the end of week 8 between the intervention group and the control group. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - The cumulative incidence of magnesium concentration 1.25 mmol/L or above in the intervention group and in the control group. - The cumulative incidence of prolonged duration of QTc (defined as >450ms in male and >460ms in female) in the intervention group and in the control group. - The cumulative incidence of bradycardia (defined as heart rate below 60 beats per minute) in the intervention group and in the control group. - The effect of dialysate magnesium concentration on pre-dialysis and post-dialysis plasma magnesium concentration at the dialysis after the long interdialytic interval. - Predictive factors for the effect of dialysate magnesium concentration on pre-dialysis and post-dialysis plasma magnesium concentration at the dialysis after the long interdialytic interval. - The difference in carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity in the intervention group and the control group in week 8, and the difference in change of pulse wave velocity from baseline to week 8 between the intervention group and the control group. Linked to this clinical trial, a bio bank is set up. Blood for biobanking is collected from participants who provide additional informed consent for biobanking. An outcome parameter from this material is: - The difference in calcification propensity score (T50) in the intervention group and the control group in week 8, and the difference in change of calcification propensity score from baseline to week 8 between the intervention group and the control group. | — |
