*The ~~parameters~~ for coding ~~hypomagnesemia are any of the following 3 items: (This change~~ is ~~active as of Feb 12, 2018)~~

*The single criterion for coding this is Mg++ <= 0.41

**Mg++ < 0.~~5 '''OR'''~~

**Any Mg++ < 0.8 AND in the presence of signs or symptoms believed to be due to hypomagnesemia '''OR'''

**Any Mg++ < 0.8 with active treatment for hypomagnesemia

*NOTE: While some listings of normal ranges for Mg++ are as low as 0.63, nonetheless the rules listed here are what should be used to code hypomagnesemia.

*~~Main~~ signs ~~and~~ symptoms of ~~hypomagnesemia~~ are:

*Presence/absence of signs or symptoms are not part of the coding criterion, though they are:

**neuromuscular - lethargy, weakness, neuromuscular irritability (fasciculations, tremors, '''tetany''')

**GI - anorexia, nausea/vomiting, ileus

**cardiovascular - long QT, AV block, cardiac arrest, increased digoxin sensitivity, arrythmias

**miscellaneous - ~~hypocalcalemia~~, hypokalemia, vertigo

**miscellaneous - hypocalcemia, hypokalemia, vertigo
