Analysis reveals that ionized magnesium outperforms total magnesium in diagnosing hypomagnesemia, suggesting improvement in patient care.

The study shows that 36.7% of patients exhibited discordance between total magnesium and ionized magnesium measures.
Logistic regression identified hypoalbuminemia and impaired renal function as key predictors of discordance between magnesium measurements.
Overall, ionized magnesium provided superior predictive accuracy for hypomagnesemia compared to total magnesium levels.
Routine assessments of ionized magnesium could enhance clinical decision-making in nephrology and cardiology settings.

Grzych et al. (2025) studied this question.
