Renagel: reducing serum phosphorus in haemodialysis patients

S K Burke. Hosp Med. 2000 Sep.

Abstract

Approximately half of all dialysis patients experience persistent hyperphosphataemia, which causes significant problems. Renagel is a calcium-free, aluminium-free phosphate binder which reduces serum phosphorus in haemodialysis patients by reducing absorption of dietary phosphorus. This article reviews the management of hyperphosphataemia and presents some Renagel clinical trial data.
