Résumé
Magnesium (Mg) is critically involved in the pathophysiology of multiple human diseases; nevertheless, Mg disorders are often poorly considered in the clinical practice. To update the prevalence and incidence of hypomagnesemia and hypermagnesemia in a real-life scenario, which better represents clinical practice, we analyzed data from 12,696 patients whose Mg serum levels were measured from January 1, 2015, through December 31, 2017 at our University Hospital. Hypomagnesemia and hypermagnesemia were defined by Mg concentrations 3.8 mg/dL (1.5 mmol/L), in accordance with the reference values for magnesemia of our laboratory (1.5-3.8 mg/dL). The prevalence of hypomagnesemia and hypermagnesemia was 8.43% (n=1071) and 1.78% (n=226), respectively. Hypomagnesemia occurred more frequently in females compared with males [53.3% (n=560) versus 47.7% (n=511), χ2=4.03, p
