Research Article: Serum ionized magnesium acts as an independent protective factor against bone erosion in patients with gouty arthritis: a cross-sectional study
Abstract:
Background: Gouty arthritis is a common inflammatory arthritis. The recurrent gout attacks severely damage the joint’s function, lead to bone erosion, and affect bone metabolism. The role of magnesium (Mg) ions in bone homeostasis has been recognized, whereas its specific relationship with gouty bone erosion remains unclear. This study examined the association between serum ionized Mg levels and bone erosion in patients with gout arthritis.
