Additional Information
This test measures the level of magnesium in your blood. Magnesium is a critical mineral for maintaining proper muscle and brain function, converting nutrients into energy, and supporting various bodily processes. Low magnesium levels (hypomagnesemia) can be caused by malnutrition, alcoholism, and diabetes, leading to symptoms like muscle spasms, fatigue, and nausea. High levels (hypermagnesemia) can disrupt normal bodily functions. Understanding your magnesium levels helps you and your healthcare provider assess your overall health and address any imbalances.
