Magnesium near me in Delhi
The Magnesium is a blood test used to measure the level of magnesium, a vital mineral, in your body. This test is often done to diagnose and monitor conditions that affect magnesium levels such as kidney disease, uncontrolled diabetes, gastrointestinal disorders, etc. It is available at an affordable price with Tata 1mg labs in Delhi.
Your doctor may suggest the Magnesium test if you experience symptoms suggestive of abnormal magnesium levels such as muscle cramps, numbness or tingling, irregular heartbeat, diarrhea, confusion, slurred speech, and seizures. This test can also be done in pregnant women to check the possibility of preeclampsia (a serious pregnancy complication characterized by high blood pressure). No fasting is required for this test. You can eat and drink normally as per your routine.
Understanding Magnesium
Magnesium (Mg) is a macro-mineral, which means the body needs it in large amounts. It plays a key role in keeping the muscles, nerves, bones, and blood sugar levels healthy. Magnesium also supports vital processes like energy production, blood pressure control, and the absorption of potassium and calcium by the cells.
Consider getting tested for magnesium when there are symptoms such as:
- Muscle weakness or cramps
- Numbness or tingling
- Irregular heartbeat
- Confusion
- Slurred speech
- Seizures
This test can also help detect conditions like hypermagnesemia (high magnesium levels) and hypomagnesemia (low magnesium levels). It is often advised for pregnant women to check for preeclampsia, a condition marked by high blood pressure, which may result from low magnesium during the second or third trimester due to blood dilution.
Low magnesium may also lead to low calcium and potassium levels. So, doctors may also recommend this test if there are issues with calcium, phosphorus, or parathyroid hormone levels. This test helps monitor the body’s response to magnesium supplements and may be done alongside calcium and phosphorus tests.
No special preparation is required. But it is important to inform the doctor about all medications being taken, as some may affect test results. The doctor may ask to temporarily stop certain medicines before testing.
Test result ranges may vary slightly across laboratories. Speak with the doctor to understand what the result means. Based on the findings, they may recommend lifestyle changes or medications to manage health.
What does Magnesium measure?
The Magnesium test determines the amount of magnesium in the blood. Magnesium enters the body through the diet and is absorbed by the small intestine and colon. Most of the magnesium is stored in the skeletal system, comprising the bones and joints, while minor amounts are present in the muscles and other soft tissues. Any fluctuation in the levels of magnesium can cause various health complications that may need medical intervention. Therefore, this test serves as an important diagnostic test that helps doctors detect any abnormalities in magnesium levels and formulate an appropriate treatment plan.
