Sevelamer Hydrochloride in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients
To test the hypothesis that second-line fixed low-dose sevelamer hydrochloride therapy is as effective as first-line high-dose sevelamer hydrochloride therapy in limiting the progression of cardiovascular calcification.
Cardiovascular disease accounts for nearly 50% of the mortality and is the most frequent cause of hospitalization in ESRD patients. Hyperphosphatemia is increasingly recognized to be an important predictor of mortality and cardiovascular death in ESRD patients and is largely attributed to the increased prevalence of vascular calcification.
