Patient's question:
Because of a certain illness, I have been unable to stop taking medication for a long time. Due to the medication, my endocrine system has become problematic. Now, I want to stop taking the medication and regulate my body. What is hypomagnesemia?Doctor's answer:
The normal concentration of serum magnesium is 0.75 to 1.25. The excretion of magnesium by the kidneys is similar to that of potassium. Although the serum magnesium concentration decreases, the excretion of magnesium by the kidneys does not stop. In many diseases, magnesium metabolic disorders often occur. When serum magnesium is less than 0.75, it is called hypomagnesemia. Actively identify the causes of low magnesium in the body, treat the cause, and administer magnesium sulfate intravenously or orally.
