Magnesium and phosphorus levels

by kjpoppit on Mon Nov 25, 2013 2:47 am

I was just looking at some labs done on me before my first treatment. The only things tested on these labs was my magnesium and phosphorus levels and they were normal.

I just have no idea what the purpose of this test was for. There was nothing else tested. Does anyone have a clue?

Of course, I will ask my doctor when I see her next, just curious as usual and impatient.

Based on a quick google, increased phosphorous and magnesium levels can be indicators of issues with one's kidney function. Magnesium can also go out of whack due to chemo treatments associated with multiple myeloma.

I googled this also. I found references to bone issues. Thanks for the help. I think she was just getting a base line in these levels.
