About Hypomagnesemia.

Hypomagnesemia is an electrolyte disturbance defined as a subnormal concentration of magnesium in the blood, typically identified as a serum level below 1.46 to 1.8 mg/dL (less than 0.70 to 0.75 mmol/L).

It most commonly affects hospitalized patients, individuals with chronic alcohol use disorder, and patients experiencing reduced gastrointestinal absorption, poor nutritional intake, or excessive renal wasting.

Pathophysiologically, the deficit disrupts magnesium-dependent cellular enzymatic activity and membrane stabilization, predominantly altering neuromuscular and cardiovascular function.

While mild cases are often asymptomatic, clinically significant deficiency impairs calcium and potassium homeostasis and manifests with neuromuscular excitability—including tremors, tetany, hyperreflexia, and seizures—as well as cardiac arrhythmias such as ventricular tachycardia and torsades de pointes.
