...Toros Kapoian; Steven Khalil; Neeta B. O’Mara; Diane M. Brink; John T. Daugirdas Background: Control of predialysis serum phosphorus in hemodialysis patients is challenging. We explored the utility of a novel kinetic phosphorus modeling program. Methods: As part of a quality assurance program, urea...

... Outcomes (KDIGO) guidelines recommend monitoring CKD-MBD biochemical markers, including parathyroid hormone (PTH), phosphorus, 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25D), calcium, and alkaline phosphatase (ALP), in patients with moderate-to-severe CKD. Methods: To determine guideline adherence, we used administrative...

... phosphorus and phosphate binder (PB) pill burden among adult peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients prescribed SO as part of routine care. Methods: Adult PD patients ( n = 258) prescribed SO through a renal pharmacy service were analyzed. Baseline was 3 months before SO prescription. SO-treated follow-up...

... metabolism marker (p for interaction >0.16); however, the relationship with dialysis initiation differed according to the median serum phosphorus level (p for interaction <0.001). Conclusions: RAAS inhibition was associated with decreased all-cause mortality independent of disordered mineral metabolism...

... between 1995 and 1998 in the Choices for Healthy Outcomes in Caring for ESRD Study. Serum calcium, phosphorus, parathyroid hormone (PTH) and total alkaline phosphatase levels were averaged from clinical measurements during the first 4.5 months of dialysis. We evaluated the associated prospective risk...

...Ranjani N. Moorthi; Cheryl L.H. Armstrong; Kevin Janda; Kristen Ponsler-Sipes; John R. Asplin; Sharon M. Moe Background: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is associated with alterations in phosphorus excretion, and increases in fibroblast growth factor (FGF23) and parathyroid hormone (PTH). Plant...

...Madhumathi Rao; Michael Steffes; Andrew Bostom; Joachim H. Ix Background: Elevated serum phosphorus and FGF23 are independent cardiovascular risk factors in patients with chronic kidney disease. In a randomized controlled trial of patients with dyslipidemia assigned to either extended release...

...Nisha Bansal; Chi-yuan Hsu; Mary Whooley; Anders H. Berg; Joachim H. Ix Background: Urine dopamine (DA) is produced in the proximal tubule and has been found to increase in response to dietary phosphorus intake, and to contribute to greater urinary phosphorus excretion in animal models. Whether...

...L. Viaene; B.K.I. Meijers; Y. Vanrenterghem; P. Evenepoel Introduction: Calcium and phosphorus are essential to many vital physiological processes. Little is known about the net and fractional intestinal absorption of calcium and phosphorus in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD...

...Liesbeth Viaene; Björn Meijers; Yves Vanrenterghem; Pieter Evenepoel Background: Serum phosphorus concentrations reflect a dynamic balance between generation, exchanges, and removal. Time-averaged phosphorus concentrations (TAC phos ) reflect the overall exposure better than single time-point...

... mortality of hypercalcemia was consistent, hypocalcemia mortality was most prominent with higher serum phosphorus (>3.5 mg/dl) and PTH levels (>150 pg/ml). Higher paricalcitol doses shifted the calcium range associated with the greatest survival to the right, i.e. from 9.0 to <9.5 to 9.5...

...Jan-Peter van Kuijk; Willem-Jan Flu; Michel Chonchol; Tabita M. Valentijn; Hence J.M. Verhagen; Jeroen J. Bax; Don Poldermans Background/Aims: Serum phosphorus levels have been associated with adverse long-term outcome in several populations, however, no prior studies evaluated short-term...

.... Methods: Consecutive patients were enrolled. Exclusion criteria were: symptomatic coronary disease, arrhythmia, myocardial infarction, and diabetes. Serum calcium, phosphorus, parathyroid hormone, homocysteine, C-reactive protein, triglycerides, total cholesterol, high- and low-density lipoprotein...

... density (BMD) was measured at the beginning and at the end of the trial. Results: The low-dose regimen produced no metabolic or skeletal effect. In subjects prescribed the high-dose regimen, the 24-hour urine phosphorus excretion fell from 0.53 mg/mg creatinine to values ranging from 0.34 to 0.41 mg/mg...

...Ritsuko Masuyama; Yasutaka Kajita; Junko Odachi; Mariko Uehara; Takashi Shigematsu; Kazuharu Suzuki; Shiro Goto Dietary intake of high levels of phosphorus is known to increase serum levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH); however, how this increased serum PTH affects the action of PTH in major target...
