Bone magnesium in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with hypercapnia.
Serum, bone and urinary magnesium as well as bone mineral crystal size and perfection were determined in 10 chronic hypercapnic patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Decreased serum magnesium levels were found. Urinary magnesium excretion decreased while bone magnesium increased. Bone mineral crystal size and perfection decreased.
