Magnesium is the fourth most abundant cation in the body and the second most abundant intracellular cation. It plays an important role in different organ systems at the cellular and enzymatic levels. Despite its importance, it still has not received the needed attention either in the medical literature or in clinical practice in comparison to other electrolytes like sodium, potassium, and calcium. Hypomagnesemia can lead to many clinical manifestations with some being life-threatening. The reported incidence is less likely than expected in the general population. We present a comprehensive review of different aspects of magnesium physiology and hypomagnesemia which can help clinicians in understanding, identifying, and treating this disorder.
镁是体内第四丰富的阳离子，也是细胞内第二丰富的阳离子。它在细胞和酶水平上的不同器官系统中发挥着重要作用。尽管其很重要，但与钠、钾和钙等其他电解质相比，它在医学文献和临床实践中仍未得到应有的关注。低镁血症可导致许多临床表现，有些甚至危及生命。在普通人群中，报告的发病率低于预期。我们对镁的生理学和低镁血症的不同方面进行了全面综述，这有助于临床医生理解、识别和治疗这种疾病。
