Can i take magnesium with stage 3 kidney disease?

My uncle has stage 3 kidney disease, and his doctor strictly told him to avoid over-the-counter magnesium supplements. High magnesium levels can be really dangerous when kidneys aren't filtering properly. Definitely check with your specialist.

My doctor explained that in stage 3 kidney disease, the kidneys' ability to excrete magnesium is reduced, which can lead to hypermagnesemia. Because of this risk, they advised against any magnesium supplements unless specifically monitored. Please get a blood test done and consult your nephrologist.

For kidney health, it is always best to stick to a simple, doctor-approved diet rather than taking heavy English supplements like magnesium. If you are experiencing any symptoms like muscle cramps, please consult your doctor immediately instead of self-treating.

My father was recently diagnosed with stage 3 kidney issues and his legs cramp a lot, so we were thinking about magnesium. But I am too scared of worsening his kidney function. Has anyone else's doctor allowed magnesium at this stage?
