title: [Magnesium content of serum in pregnancy-induced hypertension].
abstract: Magnesium concentrations were measured in the serum of 159 pregnant women, 19 patients with severe, 64 with mild gestational hypertension and 76 with a normal pregnancy. Our data do not support the conclusion that magnesium deficiency is the primary cause of gestational hypertension.
