Chronic kidney disease-mineral bone disorder (CKD-MBD) is a systemic disorder that describes the complex bone and mineral abnormalities that occur in CKD. To understand the pathophysiology of CKD-MBD and determine whether the early use of phosphate binders would alter this physiology, we used a natu

Due to the side effects of the current oral phosphate binders, there is a need for effective alternatives. A number of mixed metal hydroxy-carbonate compounds (MMHCs) based on Mg and Fe have recently been established as effective phosphate binders. We have now carried out further studies on the MMHC
The high tablet burden and poor compliance associated with phosphate-binding drugs has led to a search for more potent agents. In vitro-binding studies were performed on the recently introduced binder, lanthanum carbonate (LC; Fosrenol), to compare its phosphate-binding affinity with sevelamer hydro
