This simulator visualizes how intestinal absorption pathways, renal handling in the loop of Henle, and bone exchange interact to keep serum magnesium within its narrow normal range.
Adjust dietary intake, renal function, and diuretic use to see how each factor shifts serum magnesium toward hypomagnesemia or hypermagnesemia in real time.
Sliders let you vary dietary magnesium intake, vitamin D level, diuretic dose, and kidney function to observe their combined effect on serum magnesium.
Less than 1 percent of total body magnesium circulates in the blood, so a normal serum reading can still coexist with significant whole-body magnesium depletion.
