Abstract:Introduction: Ionized Mg (iMg) may offer a more reliable indicator of Mg status during acute illness than total body Mg (tMg) concentrations. This study aimed to determine the incidence of dysmagnesemia and their relationship using iMg and tMg. The clinical and biochemical characteristics as well as health outcomes and their association with iMg and tMg was also assessed. Methods: A prospective study including all eligible adult patients (≥ 18 years) who were hospitalized in the General Internal Medicine unit… Show more
