Iron (Fe)

The iron and total iron binding capacity (TIBC) levels are influenced by changes in iron intake, absorption, storage, and release mechanisms. Such changes are indicative of a wide range of dysfunctions including anemias, nephrosis, cirrhosis and hepatitis. Iron measurements are interrelated parameters for the diagnosis of the iron status.
Colorimetric test for the quantitative determination of iron in human serum and heparinised plasma.

Magnesium (Mg)

Magnesium measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of hypo- and hypermagnesemia. When making clinical assessment of magnesium levels the calcium levels should also be considered. The best-defined manifestation of magnesium deficiency is impairment of neuromuscular function e.g. hyperirritability, tetany, convulsions, and electrocardiographic changes.
Hypomagnesemia: Observed in diabetes, chronic alcoholism, forced diuresis, hyperthyroidism, hypoparathyroidism, hypocalcemia, malabsorption and acute pancreatitis.
ŸHypermagnesemia: Increased serum magnesium levels have been found in cases of renal failure, dehydration, severe diabetic ketoacidosis and Addison's disease.
Colorimetric test for the quantitative determination of magnesium in human serum and plasma (no EDTA plasma).

Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC)

The iron and total iron binding capacity (TIBC) levels are influenced by changes in iron intake, absorption, storage, and release mechanisms. Such changes are indicative of a wide range of dysfunctions including anemias, nephrosis, cirrhosis and hepatitis. Iron and TIBC measurements are interrelated parameters for the diagnosis of the iron status.
