Summary
Mg2+ is the second most abundant intracellular cation after potassium and it plays an essential role in the human body. The kidney is the key organ regulating Mg2+ homeostasis through complex processes of excretion and reabsorption. This takes place in the nephrons, the functional units of the kidney, via paracellular mechanisms and ion transporters. Alterations in Mg2+ homeostasis are associated with several diseases and vice versa. Hypomagnesemia (serum Mg2+
