Calcium-based phosphate binders are appropriate in chronic renal failure.
Many nephrologists feel threatened by the allegation that, in patients with chronic renal failure, treatment with calcium-based phosphate binders (calcium acetate and calcium carbonate) may induce coronary artery and cardiac calcification, thereby imposing a greater risk for death compared with sevelamer, a non-calcium-based binder. Acknowledging that drug manufacturers are not unaware of the m...
متن کاملThe effects of non-calcium-based phosphate binders versus calcium-based phosphate binders on cardiovascular calcification and bone remodeling among dialysis patients: a meta-analysis of randomized trials.
BACKGROUND Vascular calcification significantly increases the rates of cardiovascular mortality in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Abnormalities in mineral metabolism may play a role in the pathogenesis of arterial calcification. Whether patients treated with non-calcium-based phosphate binders had reduced aortic vascular calcification compared to those treated with calcium-based phosphate binders ...
متن کاملEmphysema is associated with thoracic vertebral bone attenuation on chest CT scan in HIV-infected individuals
BACKGROUND Age-related chronic diseases are prevalent in HIV-infected persons in the antiretroviral therapy (ART) era. Bone mineral density (BMD) loss and emphysema have separately been shown to occur at a younger age and with lesser risk exposure in HIV-infected compared to HIV-uninfected individuals. In non-HIV infected smokers, emphysema has been shown to independently predict low BMD. We hy...
متن کاملEffectiveness and cost-efficiency of phosphate binders in hemodialysis
HEALTH POLITICAL BACKGROUND In 2006, the prevalence of chronic renal insufficiency in Germany was 91,718, of which 66,508 patients were on dialysis. The tendency is clearly growing. SCIENTIFIC BACKGROUND Chronic renal insufficiency results in a disturbance of the mineral balance. It leads to hyperphosphataemia, which is the strongest independent risk factor for mortality in renal patients. Us...
متن کاملComparison of Phosphate Lowering Properties of Calcium Acetate and Calcium Carbonate in Hemodialysis Patients
Hyperphosphatemia has an important role in the development of secondary hyperparathyroidism and bone disease in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The most effective method of phosphate elimination lies with phosphate binders, the agent that more commonly used, calcium carbonate, is not an ideal binding agent. In this regard, calcium acetate has been reported to have more or at least...
