Background: Phosphate binders are commonly used in the treatment of patients with hyperphosphatemia. While phosphate binders are used to lower phosphate, the effects of specific phosphate binder types on vitamin D metabolism are unknown.
Methods: We performed a secondary analysis of the Phosphate Normalization Trial in which patients with moderate to advanced chronic kidney disease were randomized to receive either placebo, sevelamer carbonate, lanthanum carbonate or calcium acetate for 9 months. We evaluated changes in serum concentrations of vitamin D metabolites including 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [24,25(OH)2D3], 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D3], the ratio of 24,25(OH)2D3 to 25-hydroxyvitamin D [the vitamin D metabolite ratio (VMR)] and the ratio of serum 1,25(OH)2D to 25-hydroxyvitamin D.
Results: Compared with placebo, randomization to the calcium acetate arm was associated with a 0.6 ng/mL (95% CI 0.2, 1) and 13.5 pg/ng (95% CI 5.5, 21.5) increase in 24,25(OH)2D and VMR, respectively, and a 5.2 pg/mL (95% CI 1.1, 9.4) reduction in 1,25(OH)2D. Randomization to sevelamer carbonate was associated with a 0.5 ng/mL (95% CI -0.9, -0.1) and 11.8 pg/ng (95% CI -20, -3.5) reduction in 24,25(OH)2D3 and VMR, respectively. There was no association of the sevelamer arm with the change in 1,25(OH)2D3, and randomization to lanthanum carbonate was not associated with a change in any of the vitamin D metabolites.
Conclusion: Administration of different phosphate binders to patients with moderate to severe CKD results in unique changes in vitamin D metabolism.

Evaluation of self medication practices and prescription patterns in patients of chronic kidney disease: A cross-sectional, questionnaire based study.

Background: Pharmacotherapy of chronic kidney disease (CKD) consists of prescribing myriad of drugs such as antihypertensives, antidiabetics, and phosphate binders to delay disease progression and control the comorbidities, resulting in inherent variability in prescriptions. In addition, tendency to self-medicate may further aggravate the condition. Hence, the present study was planned to assess self-medication practices and variability in prescription patterns in CKD patients.

Background: This study evaluated the combined effects of oxylanthanum carbonate (OLC), an investigational phosphate binder, and tenapanor, an approved sodium/hydrogen exchanger 3 (NHE3) inhibitor that reduces paracellular phosphate absorption, on urinary phosphate excretion in rats on a high phosphorus diet.
Methods: Sixty-four male Sprague Dawley rats were randomized into eight groups: vehicle; tenapanor (0.15 mg/kg) only; OLC (0.
Sevelamer-induced Gastrointestinal Mucosal Injury: A Critical Review for Clinicians.

Sevelamer is a non-absorbable polymer used to treat hyperphosphatemia in individuals with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) undergoing hemodialysis. The deposition of sevelamer crystals in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, especially in the colon, can cause mucosal inflammation, pseudopolyps, ulceration, ischemia, or necrosis. Owing to its rarity and lack of physician awareness, the actual incidence and prevalence of sevelamer-induced gastrointestinal mucosal injury (SIGMI) remain unknown.

Introduction: Phosphate (P) binders are among the most common medications prescribed to control P levels in patients with chronic kidney disease on dialysis. There is still a paucity of data on adherence to P binders with no comparison between dialysis modalities.
Methods: We accessed factors associated with P binder adherence among patients on dialysis in an academic hospital.

Patients on dialysis often develop hyperphosphatemia, contributing to an increased risk of cardiovascular events and mortality. Currently, several types of phosphate binders (PBs) exist for the treatment of hyperphosphatemia, but they are sometimes associated with drug-specific side effects and high pill burden, making it difficult to control serum phosphorus appropriately. Tenapanor, which has a novel mechanism to reduce serum phosphorus via selective sodium/proton exchange transporter 3 inhibition, was approved for hyperphosphatemia in Japan in 2023.
