Abstract
Background: The present study aimed to investigate the incidence of preoperative ionized hypomagnesemia and compare with that of total hypomagnesemia.
Methods: This prospective observational study included 536 patients aged >20 years who were scheduled for elective surgery. Total and ionized magnesium levels were evaluated before and after the surgery. Based on these levels, patients were classified into the following groups: ionized hypo- (<0.42 mmol/L), normo- (0.42-0.59 mmol/L) and hypermagnesemia (>0.59 mmol/L), as well as total hypo- (<1.9 mg/dL[0.78 mmol/L]), normo- (1.9-2.7 mg/dL[0.78-1.11 mmol/L]) and hypermagnesemia (>2.7 mg/dL [1.11 mmol/L]). The primary objective was to establish the incidence of preoperative ionized hypomagnesemia.
Results: There was a marked difference between the incidence of preoperative ionized and total hypomagnesemia (28% vs. 19%; p<0.001). The postoperative values of ionized magnesium, ionized calcium, and albumin were significantly lower than the respective preoperative values (p<0.001 for all three variables).
Conclusion: The incidence of hypomagnesemia, determined by ionized magnesium concentration, was higher than that determined by total magnesium concentration.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
