Hyperphosphatemia is considered as an independent risk factor for surrogate clinical endpoints like vascular calcification (VC) and bone disease, or hard clinical outcomes like cardiovascular events. To date, various treatment options for phosphate removal or reduction are available. The great expectations put into calcium-based phosphate binders were mitigated because of their possible contrib...

Prevention and treatment of renal osteodystrophy (ROD) are great challenges for pediatric nephrologists. The strategies for prevention and treatment of ROD in children with chronic renal failure (CRF) should be created on an individual basis. The following factors should be considered: age, type of primary disease, rate of progression of CRF, nutrition, acidosis, type of dialysis, and drugs (co...

Phosphorus from excess fertilizers and detergents ends up washing into lakes, creeks, and rivers. This overabundance of phosphorus causes excessive aquatic plant and algae growth and depletes the dissolved oxygen supply in the water. In this study, aluminum-impregnated mesoporous adsorbents were tested for their ability to remove phosphate from water. The surface structure of the materials was ...

Renal osteodystrophy is characterized by abnormalities in bone turnover, mineralization, and bone volume. The effects of treatment modalities for renal osteodystrophy on bone should be analyzed with respect to these abnormalities. The major treatment modalities for renal osteodystrophy include phosphate binders, vitamin D compounds, and calcimimetics. Aluminum-containing phosphate binders have ...

A flow injection method with on-line solid sample dissolution was developed for the determination of fluoride in phosphate rock. The fluoride was selectively leached (98-102.4 % recovery) from a 50-mg powdered phosphate rock sample with 0.50 M citric acid. Using the zone sampling technique the fluoride in the buffered leachate was determined by injecting 87 muL into the carrier stream using a f...

in this study, the removal of as (v) from water resources by using aluminum-coated pumice as a new adsorbent was assessed. the features of the adsorbent coating layer were observed by x-ray diffraction (xrd) and scanning electron microscopy (sem).the effects of various parameters such as adsorbent doses, ph, contact time, arsenate initial concentration and interfering ions in arsenic adsorpt...
