CONTEXT: Magnesium (Mg) is an intracellular cation which takes part in various
functions including smooth muscle contractility. Studies have shown that serum Mg
level has no significant effect on asthma severity. There are only sparse data on
the effect of serum Mg level on asthma control. AIMS: The aim of this study was
to evaluate the effect of serum Mg level on asthma control. SETTINGS AND DESIGN:
This hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted at the Department of
Respiratory Medicine, Kasturba Medical College, Manipal. SUBJECTS AND METHODS:
Our participants were adult asthma patients over 18 years of age. Asthma control
was assessed using a questionnaire. Serum Mg level was estimated. The study was
approved by the Institutional Ethics Committee, and informed consent was obtained
from the participants. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS USED: Welch's ANOVA test was used to
analyze the correlation between serum Mg level and level of control of asthma.
RESULTS: We screened 256 patients who met the inclusion criteria. After 96
patients were removed based on exclusion criteria, 160 patients were grouped into
three based on the level of symptom control. Forty-eight patients belonged to the
"well controlled" group, 59 in "partly controlled" group, and the remaining 53 in
"uncontrolled" group. The mean serum Mg level (mg/dl) was 2.08 ± 0.37, 2.07 ±
0.28, and 1.83 ± 0.34 in well, partly, and uncontrolled groups, respectively. As
the level of control of asthma decreased from well controlled to uncontrolled,
the level of mean serum Mg also decreased. CONCLUSIONS: Serum Mg levels have a
positive correlation with the level of symptom control in asthma. In uncontrolled
asthma, serum Mg is significantly low. Hence, it might be useful as a biomarker
in assessing control or severity of asthma.
