Title: Magnesium Test
Description:
The Magnesium Test measures the level of magnesium in your blood—a vital mineral involved in numerous bodily functions including nerve and muscle activity, blood pressure regulation, and bone development. This test is helpful in identifying magnesium deficiencies or excess levels, which may be linked to conditions such as muscle weakness, fatigue, abnormal heart rhythms, or chronic diseases like diabetes and kidney disorders. Monitoring magnesium levels can be particularly important for individuals with malnutrition, alcohol use disorder, or those taking certain medications that affect magnesium absorption.
Instructions:
Fasting is not typically required for this test unless specified by your healthcare provider. A blood sample will be collected from a vein in your arm by a trained medical professional.
