AB Abnormalities  of  calcium  (Ca+2)  and  magnesium  (Mg+2)  metabolism  are  not  infrequent  occurrences  among  infants  admitted  for  neonatal  intensive  care.  Moreover,  the  disturbances  of  Ca+2  may  be  mirrored  by  Mg+2,  or  conversely,  as  in  hypocalcemia  and  hypomagnesemia.  Infants  of  diabetic  mothers  (IDMs)  and  infants  with  intrauterine  growth  restriction  (IUGR)  may  present  with  low  serum  levels  of  either  Ca+2  or  Mg+2,  or  both.  Serum  values  for  Ca+2  and  Mg+2  above  or  below  accepted  normal  values  are  of  concern  in  any  infant  and  warrant  further  clinical  studies.  (See  also  Chapter  107.)
