  • Title: Clinical consequences and management of hypomagnesemia.
    Author: Martin KJ, González EA, Slatopolsky E.
    Journal: J Am Soc Nephrol; 2009 Nov; 20(11):2291-5. PubMed ID: 18235082.
    Abstract:
    Magnesium deficiency and hypomagnesemia remain quite prevalent, particularly in patients in intensive care units, and may have important clinical consequences. Magnesium should be measured directly in clinical circumstances in which a risk for magnesium deficiency exists and appropriately corrected when found. This commentary reviews the current knowledge of magnesium homeostasis and the risk factors and clinical consequences of magnesium deficiency and outlines approaches to therapy.
