| 1 | The effect of phosphate binders, calcium and lanthanum carbonate on FGF23 levels in chronic kidney disease patients. | lanthanum carbonate | fibroblast growth factor 23 | Homo sapiens |
| 2 | The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of calcium carbonate vs. lanthanum carbonate in reducing serum FGF23 levels in Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patients. | lanthanum carbonate | fibroblast growth factor 23 | Homo sapiens |
| 3 | RESULTS: As compared with calcium carbonate, patients on lanthanum carbonate had lower serum levels of FGF23 (226 +- 11 vs. 158 +- 9 pg/ml) and less urinary excretion of phosphate. | lanthanum carbonate | fibroblast growth factor 23 | Homo sapiens |
| 4 | CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, in CKD 4 - 5 patients lanthanum carbonate is effective in reducing phosphate load and FGF23 levels; this effect was not observed with calcium carbonate. | lanthanum carbonate | fibroblast growth factor 23 | Homo sapiens |
