A
  1. Phosphate retention
  2. Hypocalcemia
  3. Decreased production of 1,25-dihydroxyvitaminD3 -> also leads to hypocalcemia

Q

how do phosphate binders help treat CKD-MBD?

endogenous:
calcitriol (rocaltrol)
less increase in Ca/PO4:

Q

KDIGO 2017 Guidelines for serum calcium, serum phosphate, and iPTH

goal serum phosphate: towards the normal range (3.5-5.5 mg/dL)

goal iPTH: 2-9x ULN (~ 150-600 pg/mL)

37
Q

Phosphorous Balance and Hemodialysis

to achieve neutral phosphate balance, binders must remove 257 mg/day

  • counsel to TAKE WITH FOOD
  • combo of calcium AND non-calcium binders can be used
47
Q

when should vitamin D/calcitriol be used in a CKD-MBD patient?

A

  2. persistent hypocalcemia with hyperparathyroidism
48
Q

when should vitamin D/calcitriol NOT be used in a CKD-MBD patient?

A

hypercalcemia and/or hyperphosphatemia
(use calcimimetics and optimize phosphate binders first!!!)

49
Q

what is the target therapy with vitamin D/calcitriol agents in ESRD?

General Treatment Algorithm

A

Treat to targets of:
- towards normal phosphate range
- avoiding hypercalcemia; asymptomatic hypocalcemia is ok
USE CORRECTED CALCIUM!!
- iPTH ~ 150-600 pg/mL

Start with Phosphate Binders
- initial choice based on serum calcium (CORRECTED)

Add active Vitamin D or calcimimetic based on trends of Ca, Phos, and iPTH
- active vitamin D if Ca LOW, Phos at target, iPTH HIGH
- calcimimetic if Ca HIGH, Phos at target, iPTH HIGH
