The usefulness of calcium/magnesium ratio in the risk stratification of early o...

A growing number of studies have reported a close relationship between high serum calcium (Ca)/low serum magnesium (Mg) and vascular calcification. Endothelial dysfunction and vascular inflammation seem plausible risk factors for the enhanced progression of kidney disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of the Ca/Mg ratio as a predictor of the early onset of renal replacement therapy (RRT). Meth...

The authors report the case of a classic phenotype of Fabry disease in a 60-year-old male patient presenting with left ventricular hypertrophy and stroke. Genetic analysis revealed 2 GLA-gene variants, i.e., p.R356Q and p.G360R. This clinical case highlights that the finding of 2 or more GLA gene variants in a Fabry patient should lead to a careful evaluation in order to determine their exact role in the condit...
