Active clinical trials for "Hyperphosphatemia"

To assess the long-term safety and effectiveness of Nephoxil® for the treatment of hyperphosphatemia in patients with ESRD undergoing dialysis.

Transition to Ferric Citrate among Hemodialysis and Peritoneal Dialysis Patients: A Phase 4 "Real World" Experience Study from Kaiser Permanente Southern California

Hyperphosphatemia is related to the increase in morbidity and mortality. There is greater risk for cardiovascular disease, atherosclerotic disease, secondary hyperparathyroidism, and bone disease . The serum phosphorus level can be controlled by a combination of factors, such as: reduction of ingestion, reduction of intestinal absorption with chelating agents and increase in elimination by dialysis. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of dietary intervention consisting of the restriction of industrialized foods with phosphorus additives in chronic kidney disease patients treated with hemodialysis.

To evaluate the effect on phosphatemia in hemodialysis patients of replacing the meat or fish included in two meals a week with an amount of egg white containing the same quantity of proteins.

Hyperphosphatemia is highly prevalent in PD patients, and it is an independent risk factor for all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in these patients. Effective treatments are limited in suppressing plasma phosphorous. Because of the nearly linear relationship between protein and phosphorus intake, high dietary protein intake (DPI, 1.2-1.3g/kg/d recommended by KDOQI) would load high phosphorus burden in PD patients. It is suggested that hyperphosphatemia is hard to avoid under such a DPI level, even as the patients take sufficient phosphorus blinders and receive high PD dosage. The present study is to investigate whether systemic dietary instruction would show effects on control of hyperphosphatemia in PD patients.

Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and those with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) undergoing renal replacement therapies show elevated serum phosphate levels which predispose them to cardiovascular calcifications and high risks of death from cardiovascular diseases. However, in certain patients hyperphosphatemia is not related to dialysis insufficiency, excessive daily dietary phosphorus intake or high serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels, suggesting that other mechanisms could be involved. Transgenic mice lacking the klotho gene showed a phenotype which resembles that of dialyzed ESRD patients, in the sense that they have hyperphosphatemia, vascular calcifications, and a short lifespan. This study will analyze whether functional polymorphisms or variants in the human klotho gene are associated with hyperphosphatemia in these patients.

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of ferric citrate tablet in the control of serum phosphorus levels in patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis.

With calcium carbonate as the positive control drug, to observe the effectiveness and safety of nicotinic acid in hemodialysis patients with hyperphosphatemia

This pilot study will be carried out to determine if the regular intake of iron-based Velphoro® by hyperphosphatemia patients influences the microbiome in the oral cavity and/or the gut.

Hyperphosphatemia is a common complication of end-stage renal disease and particularly affects haemodialysis patients. Elevated serum phosphorus contributes to the development of secondary hyperparathyroidism, Mineral bone disorders,metastatic calcifications and calcific uremic arteriolopathy. There is a significant association between hyperphosphatemia and increased morbidity and mortality in end stage renal disease patients including cardiovascular morbidity and mortality ,also it's associated with hospitalization of haemodialysis patients.
