Magnesium Level

Magnesium is a mineral involved in muscle and nerve signaling and energy metabolism. Blood level is only about 1% of total body stores, so a normal reading does not rule out a low overall store.

Your numbers

Magnesium (mg/dL)(mg/dL)

Result

Magnesium (mg/dL)

1.9mg/dL

What it means

Within the normal range (1.7–2.2).

Formula

Result = band(Magnesium (mg/dL))

This is a reading aid, not a diagnosis. Impaired kidney function can shift what counts as normal.

Frequently asked questions

QHow is Magnesium Level calculated?

Result = band(Magnesium (mg/dL)) — Magnesium is a mineral involved in muscle and nerve signaling and energy metabolism. Blood level is only about 1% of total body stores, so a normal reading does not rule out a low overall store.

QCan you walk through an example?

With Magnesium (mg/dL) 1.9mg/dL, the answer is Result 1.

QWhat do I need to enter?

Enter Magnesium (mg/dL). The result recalculates as you type, and an empty box counts as zero.

QHow much does the answer move if I change a number?

Changing only Magnesium (mg/dL) (mg/dL) moves the answer to Magnesium (mg/dL) (mg/dL) 0.95 → Result 0 and Magnesium (mg/dL) (mg/dL) 3.8 → Result 2. The table below lays out five steps.

QHow are the numbers rounded?

Money is shown to the nearest whole unit, percentages to one decimal place and everything else to two. What you see is rounded; the calculation itself carries the unrounded value forward.

QAnything to watch out for?

This is a reading aid, not a diagnosis. Impaired kidney function can shift what counts as normal.
