Determination of reference intervals for serum magnesium

GO Duncanson and HG Worth
Clinical Chemistry Department, King's Mill Hospital, Sutton-in- Ashfield, Nottinghamshire, U.K.

Using a discrete analyzer and a dye-binding method, we measured magnesium in 800 patients' samples received for routine analysis. By excluding data from samples for which the calcium and (or) alkaline phosphatase values were outside defined reference limits, we established a reference interval for magnesium. Because the data showed a gaussian distribution, we could use parametric analysis to establish age-related intervals for both males and females.
