AB Abnormalities  of  calcium  (Ca2+)  and  magnesium  (Mg2+)  metabolism  are  not  infrequent  occurrences  among  infants  admitted  for  neonatal  intensive  care.  Moreover,  the  disturbances  of  Ca2+  may  be  mirrored  by  Mg2+,  or  conversely,  as  in  hypocalcemia  and  hypomagnesemia.  Infants  of  diabetic  mothers  (IDMs)  and  infants  with  fetal  growth  restriction  (FGR)  may  present  with  low  serum  levels  of  either  Ca2+  or  Mg2+  or  both.  Serum  values  for  Ca2+  and  Mg2+  above  or  below  accepted  normal  values  are  of  concern  in  any  infant  and  warrant  further  clinical  studies.  Magnesium  disorders  are  discussed  in  Chapter  105.
