Neonatal hypomagnesaemia - what does this mean
Neonatal hypomagnesaemia is a condition caused by low levels of magnesium in the blood of newborns. it can be caused by a lack of dietary magnesium, a decreased ability to absorb magnesium, or increased urinary excretion of magnesium. it can also be caused by certain medications, kidney disease, or other medical conditions.
What happens during the disease - neonatal hypomagnesaemia
Neonatal hypomagnesaemia is caused by an inadequate supply of magnesium to the fetus, either due to maternal hypomagnesaemia or a lack of magnesium in the mother's diet. it can also be caused by an inability of the fetus to absorb magnesium, or by increased magnesium losses from the body due to conditions such as prematurity, prolonged labour, or dehydration. in some cases, neonatal hypomagnesaemia can be caused by a genetic defect in magnesium metabolism.

How does a doctor diagnose
- Obtain a detailed medical history
- Perform a physical examination
- Order a complete blood count (CBC)
- Order a serum electrolyte panel
- Order a serum magnesium level
- Order a urine magnesium level
- Order a renal ultrasound
- Order a renal function panel
- Order a 24-hour urine collection for magnesium
- Order a genetic test for hypomagnesaemia
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main Goal of the Treatment: To restore magnesium levels to normal and prevent or reduce the severity of hypomagnesaemia-related symptoms
- Administer magnesium supplements orally or intravenously
- Monitor magnesium levels in the blood
- Provide adequate nutrition and hydration
- Prescribe medications to treat any underlying conditions
- Monitor for signs and symptoms of hypomagnesaemia
- Provide supportive care, as needed
- Provide education on magnesium-rich foods and lifestyle changes
- Refer to a specialist, as needed
10 Days of Hospitalization Required
Average Time for Outpatient Care Not Established
Neonatal hypomagnesaemia - Prevention
Neonatal hypomagnesaemia can be prevented by ensuring adequate maternal magnesium intake during pregnancy, avoiding preterm delivery, and ensuring adequate magnesium supplementation for premature and low birth weight infants.
