Dialysis patients, what’s wrong with high phosphorus?

The intake of phosphorus in the diet should be controlled, but being too strict will affect the intake of other nutrients. It is generally believed that the daily intake of phosphorus should not exceed 1.2 grams. Secondly, phosphorus binders should be used. Aluminum-phosphorus binders commonly used in the past may cause aluminum poisoning and are now less commonly used. Currently commonly used calcium-phosphorus binders, such as calcium carbonate, calcium acetate, calcium lactate, calcium gluconate, etc., because the content of elemental calcium in calcium carbonate is higher than 40%, it can lower blood phosphorus and inhibit the secretion of parathyroid hormone. It does not increase the calcium-phosphorus product, is beneficial to the improvement of aluminum-toxic bone disease, can correct acidosis and other effects, and is low-priced, so it is very popular among doctors and patients.
