VRIJDAG 14 JUNI: Het belang van balans tussen Magnesium en Calcium

Magnesium en calcium zijn antagonisten maar werken ook nauw samen. In de huidige westerse samenleving is hun balans om diverse redenen fors verstoord. Calcium is de bovenliggende partij en magnesium is de klos. Dat heeft ernstige consequenties die in de kliniek niet als magnesium-probleem worden onderkend, deels omdat de klinische chemie referentiewaarden rondstrooit die niet veel te maken hebben met optimale waarden.    

Prof. dr. Frits Muskiet
Sinds 2015: gepensioneerd klinisch chemicus en emeritus hoogleraar 'Pathofysiologie en klinische chemie' (RUG en UMCG). Nog steeds actief in onderwijs en onderzoek.
