Hi Mike

The agreed reference interval from the Pathology Harmony group in the UK for urine magnesium is 2.4 to 6.5 mmol/24hr

Kind regards

Subject: Reference range for magnesium in 24 h urine sample

Dear colleagues,

Reference intervals for magnesium in 24 h urine samples provided by different labs vary (impressively !).

Would any of you please point me to published data we may base our recommendation upon ?

Thank you very much.

Best regards,

Mike
