Hyperammonemia is quite serious and may be the cause of quite a few complications like encephalopathy and sometimes may even cause death. Under normal circumstances a person has anywhere between 10-40 Âµmol/L of ammonia in the blood, but in cases of Hyperammonemia this is markedly increased resulting in numerous life threatening complications.
Hypermagnesemia is an electrolyte disturbance in which there is an abnormally elevated level of magnesium in the blood. Usually this results in excess of magnesium in the body. Hypermagnesemia occurs rarely because the kidney is very effective in excreting excess magnesium. It usually develops only in people with kidney failure who are given magnesium salts or who take drugs that contain magnesium (e.g. some antacids and laxatives). It is usually concurrent with other electrolyte disturbances such as a low blood calcium and/or high blood potassium level.
