| Abstract | Calcium carbonate, calcium gluconate and calcium citrate can be used as alternative phosphate binders to supplement aluminum hydroxide. The use of these substances reduces the amount of aluminum hydroxide needed to stabilize phosphate homeostasis in patients with renal failure and therefore the risk of aluminum intoxication. Patients treated with calcium citrate should be monitored very carefully, especially since citrate facilitates the absorption of aluminum by the gut. The phosphate level can be lowered best by calcium carbonate; calcium gluconate tends to produce an increase in serum calcium. Calcium gluconate also has to be carefully dosed, since gastrointestinal side effects can occur. |
