| Usage: |
Magnesium is a cofactor of many enzyme systems. Decreased renal function as in dehydration, Diabetic acidosis & Addison’s disease, reduces the urinary excretion of magnesium. Chronic glomerulonephritis, Aldosteronism & Drugs like Cyclosporine enhance excretion. This assay is useful for assessing the cause of abnormal serum magnesium concentration and determining whether the body is receiving adequate nutrition. |
