Frequent Urination During Chelation

[Guest guest]

My 6 year-old is on the second chelation cycle, 25mg DMSA, every 4

hrs., and we noticed that she's urinating too frequently for it to be

accounted for by the extra liquids we are giving her.

Questions:

Is the frequent urination to be expected with DMSA? If so, why?

Chemically, what is going on in her body right now?

When is it reasonable to expect a noticeable change?

Many thanks.

I am answering my own post in case anyone is following.

My doctor e-mailed me back with the following information regarding

my daughter's excessive urination during chelation:

" This is common and no one knows why yet. Do not worry about the

kidneys. I would be concerned if the child stopped urinating, which

would signify possible kidney problems. "

I am pushing the fluids more during chelation and observing my

daughter carefully. So far, the frequent urination seems to coincide

exactly with the taking of DMSA, beginning with the very first

capsule.
