Abstract :

Magnesium and calcium are necessary cations that function as a cofactor for adenosine triphosphatases in numerous enzymatic processes. These components are involved in the protein synthesis mechanism and anaerobic phosphorylation. The two important vital organs, i.e., the kidney and small intestine work together to keep the concentration of magnesium and calcium in the blood within a specific range because they both absorb more nutrients even when there is a deficiency of nutrients. If there is a deficiency of magnesium and calcium in extracellular fluid, some of their quantity is exchanged with the bones. In the context of intracellular Mg depletion, the serum Mg can be normal, and the occurrence of a low level typically denotes severe Mg insufficiency. Calves frequently experience hypomagnesemia and hypocalcemia. Hypomagnesemia and hypocalcemia can result from several gastrointestinal (GIT) causes, protein-deficient diet, total nutrition, intravenous (IV) administration of Mg and Ca-free fluids, chronic watery diarrhea, and steatorrhea, and in rare cases, primary familial Mg and Ca malabsorption. The clinical presentation, the severity of the magnesium deficit, and renal function all play a role in determining the dosage and method of magnesium delivery for treating hypomagnesemia.
