The efficacy of a high magnesium grass cultivar in controlling
hypomagnesaemia in grazing animals.
The association between diabetes mellitus and
hypomagnesaemia is compelling for its wide ranging impact on diabetic control and complications.
Hypomagnesaemia was seen in 12% neonates, 1 in GDM and 2 in PGDM group and the result was statistically significant (p<0.05).
FDA issued a warning that low Mg level can be associated with long-term use of PPIs.37
Hypomagnesaemia may occur after three months of treatment, but the incidence increases after one year of treatment.
Hypomagnesaemia is associated with ECG disorders observed in patients with SAH (7), such as formation of atrial fibrillation and extended Pwd (32,33).
It has been seen that even in healthy subjects gentamycin caused temporary tubular damage, loss of calcium, magnesium and potassium in urine resulting in
hypomagnesaemia, hypocalcaemia and hypokalaemia.
Eblex beef scientist Dr Liz Genever said: "Grass staggers -
hypomagnesaemia - are always a threat with lactating cows on early season ryegrass-based pastures, but they pose far more of a risk when stock grazing young grass are stressed by the sudden changes in spring weather that seem to be becoming more common these days.
The most widely reported clinical features are fluid balance abnormalities, abnormal glucose metabolism, hypophosphataemia,
hypomagnesaemia, hypokalaemia and thiamin deficiency (16,18).
High K levels in alfalfa forage may interfere with Mg utilization by cattle, thereby causing
hypomagnesaemia (Hill and Guss, 1976).
Association between cyclosporin neurotoxicity and
hypomagnesaemia. Lancet 1984;ii:1116-20.
Hypomagnesemia can be clinically defined as a concentration of serum Mg a$?1.6 mg/dL or 0.66 mmol/L or a$?2SD below the mean of the general population.5
Hypomagnesaemia has been reported to occur among patients of DM.6 This may increase the risk of cardiovascular abnormalities and also has a strong association with diabetic nephropathy.7,8
Magnesium, hence, has been given various terms such as" The disregarded cation." [3] and "The forgotten electrolyte." [4]
Hypomagnesaemia is common in critically ill patients, and there is strong, consistent clinical evidence, largely from observational studies showing that
hypomagnesaemia is significantly associated with increased need for prolonged ICU stay and increased mortality.
