| '''Magnesium deficiency''' refers to an absolute lack of [[magnesium]], the result of numerous conditions. This can generally be remedied by an alteration of [[diet (nutrition)|diet]] or oral supplements. However intravenous supplementation is necessary for more severe cases.
| |
| | |
| ==Symptoms==
| |
| Possible symptoms and pathologies as a result of magnesium deficiency are widespread, but may include: [[Hypertension]], [[cardiovascular disease]], [[Vitamin K]] deficiency, depressed [[immunity (medical)|immunity]], [[clinical depression|depression]], [[diabetes]], [[erectile dysfunction]], increased levels of [[Stress (medicine)|stress]], [[insomnia]], [[migraine]], [[cancer]], [[ADHD]], [[asthma]], and [[allergies]].
| |
| | |
| ==Incidence/prevalence==
| |
| 68% of the US population do not meet the US RDA for levels of magnesium.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ars.usda.gov/Services/docs.htm?docid=10709 |title=Community Nutrition Products and Services, Community Nutrition : CNMap |accessdate=2007-07-24 |format= |work=}}</ref>
| |
| | |
| ==Terminology==
| |
| "Magnesium depletion" (ICD10 code {{ICD10|E|83|4|e|70}}) should be distinguished from [[hypomagnesemia]], since the first refers to a disorder of magnesium [[metabolism]], and is much more difficult to treat. However, in the past, the terms have sometimes been used interchangeably. Magnesium deficiency can be present without [[hypomagnesemia]], and hypomagnesemia can be present without magnesium deficiency.
