Study of Serum Hypomagnesemia in Critically Ill Patients Admitted in Medical ICU of Hamidiya Hospital
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 6
Abstract
Magnesium is the fourth most abundant cation in human body and the second most intracellular cation after potassium. It is a critical ion that is essential for life. It serves as a cofactor for more than 300 enzymatic reactions mainly involving the transfer of phosphate group, for example formation of ATP. It also has important endocrine functions and is required for protein synthesis. It also maintains neuromuscular excitability and is important for maintenance of cardiac function.
