Why take the test?
The Magnesium (Serum) Blood Test screens for the deficiency of Magnesium in your blood. The blood test sample will detect the presence of Mg and identify if you need treatment for Hypomagnesemia. Along with the report, we also provide our Certified Doctors comments. Magnesium can be harmful either way, meaning excessive and reduced levels in the blood can cause health problems. Magnesium deficiency is often characterized by weakness, irritability, cardiac arrhythmia and vomiting. It has been linked to neurological issues such as depression and migraines. The human body regulates the level of magnesium in the body to prevent deficiency and eliminate excess of the element. However, individuals with type 2 diabetes and those with alcohol abuse disorder have a higher risk of reduced levels of Magnesium in their blood. If you or anyone you know is feeling any of these symptoms described above, they may be experiencing a lower level of Magnesium in their blood.
