Overview

Analytic cross-sectional study shows lower serum magnesium in normotensive pregnancies, indicating potential links to hypertensive disorders.

Key Points

  • Lower serum magnesium levels were found in normotensive women at term compared to those at the first antenatal visit.
  • Increased body mass index was positively associated with both early-onset and late-onset pre-eclampsia among participants.
  • Prevalence of hypomagnesaemia varied by group, showing lowest rates in normotensive women at the first antenatal visit.
  • The findings suggest altered magnesium regulation in hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, warranting further longitudinal studies.
