hyperphosphatemia/albumin

The aim of the study was to analyze systematically our observation that children with severe nephrotic syndrome (NS) have hyperphosphatemia despite normal kidney function. Forty-seven children with NS and normal glomerular filtration rate (GFR) were studied [26 with steroid-sensitive nephrotic

BACKGROUND Hyperphosphatemia, serum phosphorus ≥ 4.4 mg/dL, is associated with increased risk for chronic kidney disease and cardiovascular disease. Previous studies have shown a weak association between dietary phosphorus intake and serum phosphorus concentrations. While much less common in the

Phosphate level is often deranged during acute illness, regardless of the presence of kidney injury or not. A few studies described that hypophosphatemia may associated with outcome in patients admitted to the burn unit, but the literatures for hyperphosphatemia is limited. Our study aims to

Phosphate is an abundant mineral found in the body. The body store of phosphate is 500 to 800 g, with 85% of the total body phosphate present in crystals of hydroxyapatite in the bone — about 10% found in muscles and bones in association with proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids. The rest gets

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of short-term restriction of dietary protein intake (DPI) supplemented with keto acids on hyperphosphatemia in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. METHODS Forty MHD patients with uncontrolled hyperphosphatemia were randomized to either low DPI with keto

Calciphylaxis or calcific uremic arteriolopathy (CUA) is a fatal disease in dialysis patients due to calcification of cutaneous blood vessels. The pathogenesis has been attributed to elevated parathyroid hormone (PTH). However, recent studies evaluating vascular calcification in nondialysis patients

A 50 year old male was admitted in our hospital with anemia and impaired renal function. He was subsequently found to have extremely elevated serum phosphate level (24 mg/dL, reference interval: 2.5-4.5 mg/dL) with normal serum calcium when assayed on a Beckman Coulter AU 480(®) analyser.

Although dietary phosphate restriction is important for treating hyperphosphatemia in patients with chronic kidney disease, it remains unclear whether a low-protein diet (LPD), which contains low phosphate, has beneficial effects on malnutrition, inflammation, and vascular calcification. The effects

OBJECTIVE Our objective was to evaluate serum phosphorus control in patients undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis, with and without residual renal function, by investigating the metabolic balance of phosphorus. METHODS We assessed serum phosphorus levels in 205 patients undergoing

BACKGROUND Hyperphosphatemia is a common problem in patients with kidney failure. It is usually mild and rarely severe enough to cause metabolic acidosis on its own. Besides kidney failure, use of phosphate containing enemas, rhabdomyolysis, and tumor lysis syndrome are common causes of severe

Bixalomer (Bix) is an amine-functional polymer, non-calcium-containing phosphate (P) binder, and has been clinically available in Japan recently. Bix is expected to cause fewer gastrointestinal (GI) side-effects as compared with sevelamer hydrochloride (SH), because of less expansion of Bix in the

OBJECTIVE This study investigated the correlation between the albumin-to-creatinine ratio in the urine and 24-hour urine proteinuria and whether the ratio can predict chronic kidney disease progression even more reliably than 24-hour proteinuria can, particularly in primary IgA

OBJECTIVE To establish if the nicotinic acid in patients with chronic renal disease reduce significantly and with security the levels of lipids and serum phosphate in refractory patients to the classical management. METHODS Observational study Place: Renal Unity RTS Ltda Caldas Santa Sofìa

OBJECTIVE Hypoalbuminemia and hyperphosphatemia have been shown to be strong predictors of mortality in dialysis patients that might not be independent from each other. We prospectively investigated the relationship and interaction between serum albumin and phosphorus with all-cause mortality in an

BACKGROUND Severe hyperphosphatemia (serum phosphate level > 6.5 mg/dL [>2.10 mmol/L]) has been associated directly with increased overall and cardiovascular mortality in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Currently, clinical guidelines recommend maintaining phosphate levels within normal range (3.0 to 5.0
