Clinical Significance. Magnesium measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of hypomagnesemia (abnormally low plasma levels of magnesium) and hypermagnesemia (abnormally high plasma levels of magnesium). Magnesium is decreased in chronic nephritis, acute pancreatitis, and alcoholic cirrhosis.
I learned about the EXA TEST in 2014. It tests intracellular mineral electrolyte levels and is considered the gold standard for magnesium testing. It gives you a true and accurate picture of your magnesium levels because the magnesium is measured in your cells where 99% of your magnesium stores are.
