Test Details
Magnesium is a vital mineral involved in more than 300 enzymatic reactions, including energy production, protein synthesis, blood sugar regulation, and blood pressure control. It plays a critical role in nerve signaling, muscle contraction, and bone formation. Both deficiency and excess can lead to serious complications in the heart, nervous system, and muscles.
Low magnesium indicates deficiency, leading to cramps, muscle weakness, and irregular heartbeat.
High magnesium usually occurs in kidney problems, causing low blood pressure and weak breathing.
Main functions: energy production, enzyme activity, muscle contraction, nerve transmission.
