Different factors can alter renal Mg reabsorption. Mg absorption in the kidneys is a crucial step to ensure Mg balance. Therefore, different causes that alter this step can cause impaired Mg metabolism, with hypomagnesemia being the most common alteration. Mg can be obtained from legumes, dark and green leafy vegetables, nuts, seeds, whole grains, and fortified cereals, among others [9]. Ca2+ = calcium; CT = calcitonin; Mg = magnesium; PTH = parathyroid hormone.
