200: Amount of Fluid Ingested With Phosphate Binders (PB) in Hemodialysis- Dependent Chronic Kidney Disease (HDD-CKD) Patients

Let Them Eat Healthy: Can Emerging Potassium Binders Help Overcome Dietary Potassium Restrictions in Chronic Kidney Disease?

“…Research has shown a close correlation between serum potassium levels and nutritional markers, notably protein equivalent of nitrogen appearance (nPNA). 35 The relationship suggests that patients with better protein consumption are likely to have a higher serum potassium level (Fig. 1).…”

“…30,33,34 Moreover, it is well known that dialysis patients experience a high pill burden, with a majority of their daily pill intake from phosphorus binders. 35 An increased intake of these organic phosphorus containing and potassium containing foods could ultimately contribute to a reduced daily pill burden due to the reduced phosphorus bioavailability and lack of significant contribution to serum phosphorus levels, plausibly leading to a lower phosphorus binder requirement with greater phosphorus control while simultaneously leading to an improved nutrient profile.…”
