A 3-day diary of dietary protein and calorie intake by serum phosphate concentration and binder use in hemodialysis patients

Abstract

The results are consistent with the hypothesis that low serum phosphate is associated with low protein and calorie intake only among MHD patients not on binders. This study supports recommendations to prevent hyperphosphatemia in MHD patients by adequate combination of binder use and selection of foods restricted in phosphors but not severely restricted in protein and calories.
