The Effect of Lanthanum Carbonate on Fibroblast Growth Factor 23

Phase 4
Conditions
Other Nonspecific Abnormal Serum Enzyme Levels
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT01845090
Lead Sponsor
Camillians Saint Mary's Hospital Luodong
Brief Summary

To compare the effect of lanthanum carbonate with calcium carbonate on serum FGF23 levels in hemodialysis patients.

Detailed Description

The investigators enrolled patients on maintenance hemodialysis and randomized them to two groups. One group will receive lanthanum carbonate and another group will receive calcium carbonate. The investigators will compare serum FGF23 levels between two groups after they receive above medication for 6 months.
