title: [Magnesium in obstetric pathology].
abstract: Mean levels of maternal blood magnesium in a group of pathological pregnancies were compared to levels found in a group of physiological pregnancies. The paper concludes that low levels of blood magnesium are an improbable condition in pregnancy due to the existence of protective mechanisms, and that they are therefore rarely the cause of the most common obstetric pathologies.
