Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Usage of gastric acid blockers of the class of PPI's (Proton Pump Inhibitors). These are mainly the group of the so called "Dyspepsia" patients.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: (a) Short bowel patients are excluded, because they have a malabsorptional status of their intestinal tract. (b) Individuals with known alcoholism, because alcohol abuse can produce hypomagnesemia. (c) Individuals with: Unregulated diabetes mellitus, syndrome of Gitelman, syndrome of Bartter, anemia, strong adipositas or strong anorexia. (d) For a more exact list please refer to the study protocol
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| (a) Primary blood variable: Serum magnesium in clot- or haparin-blood. Measurement via calorimetric xylidyl blue method (Roche). - a value 0.84 mmol/l is considered to be hypermagnesemia (b) Genetic analysis: This analysis is a "whole genome SNP array". Possible variations in the SNiPs may be unveiled by a comparison with a standard database. A limit value that identifies a variation to be significant is dependent on the analysis method.In general correlation peaks with a hight > 0.5 indicate possible interesting areas of the genome and may be closer investigated in further in vitro or in vivio models. The SNP analysis will be performed as soon as a number of hypomagnesemic PPI users are identified. | — |
