Mashup Score: 1Patiromer Treatment in Patients With CKD, Hyperkalemia, and Hyperphosphatemia: A Post Hoc Analysis of 3 Clinical Trials - 2 year(s) ago
Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), hyperkalemia (serum potassium [sK+] >5.0 mEq/L), and hyperphosphatemia experience poor clinical outcomes. Patiromer, a potassium binder that uses calcium as the exchange ion, may also reduce sP. We characterized the effect of patiromer on serum phosphorous (sP) in patients with CKD, hyperkalemia, and hyperphosphatemia.
