Overview
The diagnosis can be made by finding a plasma magnesium concentration of less than 0.7mmol/l. Since most magnesium is intracellular, a body deficit can be present with a normal plasma concentration. In addition to hypomagnesemia, up to 40% cases will also have hypocalcemia while in up to 60% of cases, hypokalemia will also be present.
Laboratory findings
Serum magnesium level is usually normal for patients with hypomagnesemia since most of magnesium is intracellular. The following la
