Evaluation of Serum Magnesium in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Diabetic Nephropathy in Young Individuals

Abstract

Background/Aims: The link between microalbuminuria and magnesium depletion is 
debatable, and serum ionised magnesium levels have not previously been investigated in 
individuals with various stages of diabetic nephropathy. Therefore, the goal of this study was 
to assess circulating ionised magnesium concentrations in patients with non-insulin
dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) and incipient or overt diabetic nephropathy.
