Understanding Magnesium in Hyderabad

What is Magnesium in Hyderabad?

A magnesium blood test is performed to measure magnesium levels in the blood and to monitor treatment efficacy of magnesium supplements. Magnesium is a mineral that plays an essential role in metabolism, nerve functioning, and maintenance of healthy bones. Its deficiency can cause symptoms such as muscle weakness, irregular heartbeats, and muscle twitch.

A level lower than the normal amount is called magnesium deficiency, it may be a sign of malnutrition and diabetes. If your results show a higher than normal amount of magnesium, it may be a sign of dehydration and kidney disease.

What does Magnesium measure?

Magnesium is a mineral micronutrient which plays essential roles in body processes including enzyme functions, energy production by metabolism, contraction of muscles, and nerve functioning. It also helps in the metabolism of calcium and hence helps in the maintenance of healthy bones. Magnesium is supplied to the body from dietary sources and is absorbed in the small intestine and colon. It is subsequently absorbed into the bones and tissues. Only about 1% of the total amount of magnesium absorbed remains in the blood within a narrow normal range. The normal range of magnesium concentration is maintained in the body by utilizing the amount absorbed from food and excreting the excess through urination.

Deviation from the normal range of magnesium concentration causes Hypomagnesia (shortage of magnesium), or Hypermagnesia (excess of magnesium). Both these conditions impact normal body processes in the short term and may give rise to other conditions in the long term.
