==Causes==
Since magnesium is excreted through the [[kidney]]s, [[renal failure]] can result in hypermagnesemia. The most important cause however is suppletion.
* Since magnesium is excreted through the [[kidney]]s, [[renal failure]] can result in hypermagnesemia. The most important cause however is suppletion.
*[[Hemolysis]], magnesium concentration in erythrocytes is approximately three times greater than in serum, therefore hemolysis can increase plasma magnesium. Hypermagnesemia is expected only in massive hemolysis.
*[[Renal insufficiency]], excretion of magnesium becomes impaired when [[creatinine clearance]] falls below 30 ml/min. However, hypermagnesemia is not a prominent feature of renal insufficiency unless magnesium intake is increased.
*Other conditions that can predispose to mild hypermagnesemia are [[diabetic ketoacidosis]], [[adrenal insufficiency]], [[hyperparathyroidism]] and [[lithium]] [[intoxication]].
