A phosphate binder combining calcium and magnesium offers an interesting therapeutic option to control hyperphosphatemia in dialysis patients. We investigated the effectiveness and tolerance of calcium acetate-magnesium carbonate (Ca-Mg). This is a 16-week prospective study including 16 dialysis patients. After an initial two-week washout period, serum phosphorus (sPho) ≥1.8 mmol/L, serum calcium (sCa) ≤2.6 mmol/L, and serum magnesium ≤1.5 mmol/L were the main inclusion criteria. The initial dose of Ca-Mg depended on sPho level and was titrated for every two weeks to have a sPho ≤ 1.8 mmol/L. A second two-week washout period followed the 12 weeks of treatment. Ca-Mg significantly reduced the mean sPho levels from 2.14 to 1.75 mmol/L by the end of the 12-week treatment period (P |
