AB Abnormalities  of  magnesium  (Mg2+)  and  calcium  (Ca2+)  metabolism  are  commonly  seen  in  the  neonatal  intensive  care  unit.  Calcium  disturbances  may  be  mirrored  by  magnesium,  as  seen  in  hypocalcemia  with  hypomagnesemia  or  hypercalcemia  with  hypermagnesemia.  Infants  of  diabetic  mothers  and  infants  with  fetal  growth  restriction  may  present  with  hypocalcemia,  hypomagnesemia,  or  both.  Abnormalities  in  serum  values  for  Ca2+  and  Mg2+  are  of  concern  in  any  infant  and  warrant  further  investigation.
