Hello,
Welcome and thanks for your query.
Since you have kidney failure and on dialysis, your activated Vitamin D3 and the ionized calcium in the blood would be low. This is a usual cause for cramps. It would improve if you take 1 alpha D3 and Calcium tablets.
Do get back to me if you have further queries.
