Abstract:
Magnesium plays an important role in many physiologic functions and disorders of magnesium homeostasis are common in hospital populations. As magnesium is mainly an intracellular ion, assessment of magnesium status is difficult. Of all the methods used for assessing magnesium status, the magnesium tolerance test is currently the best one. Hypomagnesemia, which is much more frequent than hypermagnesemia, is commonly caused by an increased gastrointestinal or renal loss of magnesium. Hypomagnesemia will lead to hypocalcemia and neuromuscular manifestations such as tetany, muscle weakness and cardiovascular effects such as arrhythmias. If hypomagensemia is detected, it should be treated to prevent development of complications.

01:29Bone Disorders
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...
01:27Disorders of Erythrocytes
Erythrocyte disorders can be broadly categorized into two main types: anemic and polycythemic conditions.
A low oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood due to the loss, lower production, or destruction of erythrocytes is termed anemia. Hemorrhagic anemia, for example, occurs when bleeding from an external wound or internal ulcer reduces erythrocyte counts.
On the other...
01:27Disorders of Leukocytes
Leukopenia may result from bone marrow disorders, autoimmune diseases, and infectious diseases. For example, conditions such as multiple myeloma and aplastic anemia can impair the bone marrow's ability to produce adequate leukocytes. Similarly, autoimmune diseases like lupus and viral infections such as HIV can prompt the immune...
