Abstract:
Objective:To determine blood magnesium and urinary magnesium in children with asthma exacerbation and discuss the relationship between the magnesium level and children with asthma attack. Methods:The observation group include 90 children who were 0~6 years old with asthma exacerbation that admission to our hospital since May 2008 to May 2012. The control group was 100 children with the same age to the observation group to accept the health examination. Every child in two groups were taking venous blood of 2ml and 24h urine samples. Record the amount of urine at the same time. Using automatic biochemical analyzer to detect the serum magnesium concentration and urinary magnesium concentration. Results: The urinary magnesium concentration of observation group was obviously lower than control group (t=8.52, P<0.001);the serum magnesium concentration of two groups had no significant difference (t=2.21, P>0.05). Conclusion:Children with asthma in acute attack stage with magnesium deficiency. Urinary magnesium concentration determination is simple, and it is a effective method that can be used to judge whether there is magnesium deficiency. Serum magnesium concentration cannot be used as a reliable indicator of magnesium ion balance.
