Results Among 3603 incident dialysis patients, 77.5% used a CCPB, whereas 22.5% did
not. Baseline use of CCPB was associated with an adjusted 19% lower mortality rate among …

Control of the phosphate balance is a major concern for chronic dialysis patients and it
depends on dietary intake, intestinal binding and dialytic removal. Phosphorus mass transfer …

Background: Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are widely prescribed and may be associated
with harm; hypomagnesemia and reduced effectiveness of calcium carbonate phosphate …

Background While calcium carbonate is known to interfere with the gastrointestinal
absorption of levothyroxine, we hypothesized that other phosphate binders would also bind …

At present, evidence incriminating calcium-containing phosphate binders in the progression
of cardiovascular calcification in end-stage renal disease remains largely circumstantial. As …

Much interest is currently centered on the use of calcium acetate as a phosphorus binder in
patients with renal failure. Therefore, this compound in subjects previously stable on calcium …
