ion
▪
This displaces the calcium and magnesium ions from the resin and restores it to the sodium form.
▪
Typically a magnesium ion diffuses into the channel and gets trapped, unable to go all the way through.
level
▪
Those suffering from frequent or daily headaches typically have an unusually low magnesium level .
▪
As is the case for calcium, correction of potassium deficiency may not be possible until the serum magnesium level is normalized.
▪
The serum magnesium level usually ranges between 0. 3 and 1. 0 mmol / L when tetany occurs.
▪
However, if hemolysis occurs during blood drawing, falsely elevated plasma magnesium levels may be obtained.
▪
During therapy for magnesium depletion, the physician should frequently check the serum magnesium level , especially in patients with renal insufficiency.
EXAMPLES FROM CORPUS
▪
As mentioned above, to remove magnesium bicarbonate hardness requires twice as much lime as is needed for calcium bicarbonate.
▪
Calcium permanent hardness requires the more expensive sodium carbonate, whereas magnesium permanent hardness requires both lime and sodium carbonate.
▪
Drought resulted in decreased root growth and slower breakdown of soil litter, an important source of magnesium for forest trees.
▪
Experimental phosphate deficiency in humans may induce renal magnesium loss.
▪
The hypocalcemia and hypomagnesemia respond readily to administration of magnesium salts.
▪
The important minerals are calcium, zinc, iron, potassium, magnesium , phosphorus and iodine.
▪
The kidney is the principal regulator of magnesium balance.
▪
The use of diuretics in those conditions may augment the depletion of magnesium .
