Determination of magnesium level in serum, plasma and urine is mainly used to monitor and as an aid to the diagnosis of clinical conditions associated with hypo- and hypermagnesemia. Decreased concentrations of magnesium can be associated with kidney disease, malabsorption syndromes, acute pancreatitis and acute and chronic diarrhea. Low values of magnesium may also be observed after alcohol, diuretics and cytotoxic drugs intake. High levels of magnesium may indicate renal failure and excessive magnesium absorption from the gastrointestinal tract as a result of peptic ulcer disease or intestine inflammatory.
