A

Sevelamer carbonate
Lanthanum carbonate
Ferric citrate
Sucroferric oxyhydroxide

27

29
Q

After Phosphate binders, what should you do to lower PTH

A

Activated Vitamin D/analogs

A

Serum Calcium is normal - low

31
Q

When should you use Calcimetic

A

Serum calcium normal - high

32
Q

Goals of treatment for secondary hyperparathyroidism

A

Avoid hypercalcemia (asymptomatic hypoCa is okay)
Phosphate towards normal range: 2.7 - 4.6, 3.5-5.5
iPTH 2- 9 x ULN (150 - 600)

33
Q

What are your Activated Vitamin D & analogs

A
  • Calcitriol (Rectorol)
  • Paracalcitol (Zemplor)

34
Q

Activated Vitamin D vs Analaogs

A

Analogs have less risk of hypercalcemia

35
