Calculator: Fractional excretion of magnesium (conventional units)*

Calculator: Fractional excretion of magnesium (conventional units)^*

Input

Urine Mg
Plasma Mg
Urine Cr
Plasma Cr

Result

Important: Inputs must be complete to perform calculation.


FEMg

Decimal precision

Notes

The fractional excretion of magnesium (FEMg) can be calculated by entering the values from simultaneously obtained urine and blood samples.
Please refer to UpToDate topic review of hypomagnesemia for a discussion of the interpretation of the fractional excretion of magnesium.
Cr: creatinine.
In this calculator, mcg is the abbreviation for micrograms.
* This calculator uses conventional units (also known as US units and gravimetric units) as the default for inputs. Do not use this calculator if you are using SI units (Système international d'unités); please refer instead to the SI units version of this calculator.

Equations used

FEMg = 100 * (Urine_Mg * Plasma_Cr) / (0.7 * Plasma_Mg * Urine_Cr)
