As someone who spent three years on dialysis and came of without a transplant and now live with very low level of kidney function and had chemotherapy let me comment on this -- something I know about from experience.

If you suspect you fit the profile (kidney damage & chemotherapy), then for God's sake, don't buy a jug of magnesium in hopes it might help.

By all means, discuss this with your nephrologist who you are likely seeing regularly and get good medical advice specifically for your case.

Modern medicine is a great thing -- but not always right for your specific case. Don't make it worse.
