Hypermagnesemia Diagnosis

1. Serum magnesium increased slightly, to arise symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea, skin flushing, headache, and other non-specific symptoms can be easily overlooked, once the serum [Mg2 +]> 2mmol / L, can be diagnosed with hypermagnesemia.

2. 24 hours the volume of urine magnesium excluded: there is more to assist diagnosis of the cause. If loss of reduction, that is, factors of renal, endocrine factors, metabolic factors, or magnesium intake are increased or caused by abnormal distribution.

Other test for hypermagnesemia diagnosed include:

Electrocardiogram: the emergence of conduction block and bradycardia. Hypermagnesemia showed the electrocardiogram PR interval prolongation, QRS widening and QT interval prolongation. Because of high blood magnesium often accompanied by hyperkalemia, it can be pointed T wave high.

B-ultrasound: early detection of organic changes in the kidney.
