A study was made of magnesium content in the blood serum and the urine of 62 patients with thyrotoxicosis before and after the parenteral administration of magnesium sulfate (load dose). Blood serum magnesium content was diminished; as to its renal excretion--it failed to differ from that in the control group. The mentioned disturbances in magnesium content were more pronounced in patients with thyrotoxicosis for a long time.
