Assessment and management of magnesium and trace element status in children with CKD stages 2-5, on dialysis and post-transplantation: Clinical practice points from the Pediatric Renal Nutrition Taskforce.

ABSTRACT: Children and young people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at risk for deficiency or excess of magnesium and trace elements. Kidney function, dialysis, medication, and dietary and supplemental intake can affect their biochemical status. There is much uncertainty about the requirements of magnesium and trace elements in CKD, which leads to variation in practice. The Pediatric Renal Nutrition Taskforce is an international team of pediatric kidney dietitians and pediatric nephrologists, formed to develop evidence-based clinical practice points to improve the nutritional care of children with CKD. PICO (patient, intervention, comparator, and outcomes) questions led the literature searches, which were conducted to ascertain current biochemical status, dietary intake, and factors leading to
