Abstract

The study assessed the frequency of magnesium (Mg) imbalances among patients admitted to a multidisciplinary intensive care unit (ICU) and demonstrated a correlation between serum magnesium concentrations and clinical results. A 24-month observational study was conducted on patients with acute kidney injury in tertiary care from January 2021 to June 2022. The study involved purposive sampling and data collection from patients at PES Hospital in Kuppam. Participants included patients with comorbidities like diabetes, hypertension and drug abuse history. The study analysed blood samples to understand the relationship between serum magnesium levels and recovery status, using statistical analysis Pearson correlation and chi-square test, to provide insights into kidney injury impact. The relationship between serum magnesium levels and recovery status in patients with kidney injury was the majority of participants were aged 25-45 years, with a gender distribution of 72.3% males and 27.7% females. Serum creatinine levels were highest at day 1 and lowest at day 6. A weak correlation between serum creatinine and magnesium levels on day 1, but a significant association was found between magnesium levels at day 1 and recovery. The study also showed a significant association between magnesium levels and recovery status, with 70.8% of patients recovering and 58.3% not recovering. According to the study, hypomagnesemia was more prevalent in AKI patients and higher magnesium levels on days 1, 3 and 6 were associated with enhanced recovery. More research is required to ascertain the advantages of blood magnesium infusion and monitoring for AKI patients, as hypomagnesemia is a poor predictor of recovery.
