Magnesium salts solution (B: Hematopoietic stem cells blood and lymphoid organs)
Physiologically :
Magnesium is a cation primarily intracellular. It decreases neuronal excitability and neuromuscular transmission and is involved in several enzymatic reactions. Constitutional element, half of magnesium builds bone mass.
Clinically :
Serum magnesemia :
- ranging from 12 to 17 mg/l (1 to 1.4 mEq/l or 0.5 to 0.7 mmol/l) indicates moderate magnesium deficiency,
- under 12 mg/l (1 mEq/l or 0.5 mmol/l) indicates severe magnesium deficiency.
Magnesium deficiency may be:
- Primary by congenital abnormality of metabolism (chronic congenital hypomagnesemia).
- Secondary by:
- inadequate nutritional supplements (severe denutrition, alcoholism, parenteral nutrition
exclusively), - digestive malabsorption (chronic diarrhoea, digestive fistulas, hypoparathyroidy),
- excessive increase of renal losses (tubulopathies, severe polyurias, diuretics abuse, chronic pyelonephritis, primary hyperaldosteronism, treatment with cisplatin).
Pharmacokinetics
Urinary excretion mainly.
