Doctor-led intensive diet education on health-related quality of life in patients with chronic renal failure and hyperphosphatemia.

Background: Secondary hyperparathyroidism, renal osteodystrophy, and cardiovascular adverse events can occur if long-term hyperphosphatemia is not corrected, leading to the adverse prognosis of patients with chronic renal failure. Besides the use of phosphorus binders, clinical control measures for hyperphosphatemia in these patients should also incorporate diet control.

Aim: To observe doctor-led intensive diet education effects on health-related quality of life in patients with chronic renal failure and hyperphosphatemia.
