Controlling serum phosphorus levels in patients with renal failure is critical. The use of oral phosphate-binding agents is universal for patients with end-stage kidney disease to reduce phosphate absorption. The therapeutic goal is to reduce serum phosphorus levels without disturbing
Gadolinium and lanthanum: a iatrogenic transmetallation?
The International journal of artificial organs, 30(4), 293-300 (2007-05-24)
Phosphate overload is a dramatic consequence in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. Recent studies have well documented that abnormalities in mineral and bone metabolism in these patients are associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Elevated serum phosphate and calcium-phosphate
Expert opinion on drug metabolism & toxicology, 5(1), 71-81 (2009-02-25)
Hyperphosphatemia is recognized as a principal mineral disorder in chronic kidney disease (CKD) that leads to the development of secondary hyperparathyroidism. Recent data indicate that hyperphosphatemia is associated with accelerated cardiac calcification and increased mortality in patients with CKD. Control
Lanthanum carbonate is considered to be the most potent of a new generation of noncalcium phosphate binders used to treat hyperphosphataemia in chronic kidney disease (CKD), a condition associated with progressive bone and cardiovascular pathology and a markedly elevated risk
