  • Title: [Front line of management of hyperphosphatemia in hemodialysis patients].
    Author: Yumita S.
    Journal: Clin Calcium; 2004 May; 14(5):771-7. PubMed ID: 15577041.
    Abstract:
    Management of hyperphosphatemia in hemodialysis patients is very important to prevent progress of renal hyperparathyroidism or ectopic calcification. Sevelamer hydrochloride is a Ca and Al free phosphate binder, and reduces serum phosphorus level, without any influence on serum Ca level, and Ca-P products. This compound is expected to reduce the incidence of arterial calcification, and improve the QOL (quality of life) of hemodialysis patients.
