ДЕФИЦИТ МАГНИЯ КАК ФАКТОР РИСКА ОСЛОЖНЕНИЙ БЕРЕМЕННОСТИ

Abstract

Magnesium deficiency is one of the most common types of nutrient deficiency, which certainly has an impact on the quality of pregnancy. After all, pregnant women need 1.5 times more magnesium per day than non-pregnant, which is due to the increase in the removal of magnesium by kidneys, the growth and development of the fetus. The tissues most dependent on magnesium are those with the highest mitochondrial density – placenta, uterus, brain and myocardium. Therefore, due to the lack of magnesium, a pregnant woman may experience such complications as: early and late miscarriages, early aging of the placenta, placental insufficiency, arterial hypertension, preeclampsia, incoordination of labor, premature birth, fetal growth retardation. Magnesium deficiency significantly complicates the course of pregnancy and delivery, which dictates the need to prevent hypomagnesemia in pregnant women. Thus, the role of magnesium deficiency in the development of pregnancy complications is undeniable. The question of diagnostic methods and ways of magnesium deficiency correction as well as the identification of best methods of prevention of its complications remains relevant.
