Magnesium (Serum)

October 8, 2024

The Magnesium (Serum) test is a blood test that measures the level of magnesium in your body. Magnesium is an essential mineral that plays a crucial role in many bodily functions. It helps maintain normal nerve and muscle function, keeps your heart rhythm steady, supports a healthy immune system, and helps build strong bones.

This test is usually ordered if you are experiencing symptoms like muscle weakness, fatigue, irregular heartbeat, or numbness and tingling in your hands and feet. It can also be used to monitor the effectiveness of magnesium supplements or to check for any imbalances in your body’s electrolytes.
