Abstract:Background: Hyperphosphatemia in CKD patients is positively associated with mortality. Ferric citrate is a potent phosphorus binder that lowers serum phosphorus level and improves iron metabolism. We compared its efficacy and safety with active drugs in Chinese CKD patients with hemodialysis.
Trial design: This is an open-label active-drug-controlled multicenter randomized study.
Methods: Chinese patients undergoing hemodialysis were randomized into two treatment groups in a 1:1 ratio receiving either ferric … Show more
