Abstract

Serum magnesium was measured in 102 consecutive patients admitted to a medical ICU. Twenty percent of these patients had hypomagnesemia and 9% had hyper-magnesemia. There were no other laboratory tests or clinical features suggesting hypomagnesemia. Of all ion levels measured routinely in these patients, serum magnesium had the highest prevalence of abnormal values.
