Magnesium

About half of the small amount of magnesium (Mg) in the body is found in bones. Excess is removed from the body through the kidneys. It is important in the functioning of over 300 enzymes, and acts in a similar way to calcium in the nervous system. Alterations in the level of magnesium in the blood also cause a change in the level of calcium. Blood tests can be performed to determine the amount of magnesium present.

The normal range is between 0.7 and 1.0 mmol/L (1.7-2.3 mg/100 mL). High levels occur in long term kidney failure. Low levels may be a sign of kidney abnormalities, chronic alcoholism, hyperaldosteronism, liver cirrhosis, malabsorption syndromes, diarrhea, diabetic ketoacidosis, malnutrition, vomiting, and prolonged intravenous therapy. Medications such as diuretics, amphotericin, gentamicin, laxatives, cisplatin and cytotoxics may also be responsible. Low levels may cause an irregular heart beat.
