Hyperphosphatemia in Children With Chronic Kidney Disease

June 27, 2017 updated by: Asmaa Ahmed, Assiut University

Effect of Non-calcium Phosphate Binders Versus Calcium Based Binders on Chronic Kidney Disease -Mineral and Bone Disorder in Children on Regular Hemodialysis

"Chronic Kidney Disease-Mineral and Bone Disorder " is a systemic disorder of mineral and bone metabolism, due to chronic kidney disease that is manifested by either one or a combination of the following :

  1. Abnormalities of calcium, phosphate, parathyroid hormone or vitamin D metabolism
  2. Vascular and/or soft tissue calcification.
  3. Abnormalities in bone turnover, metabolism, volume, linear growth or strength. According to glomerular filtration rate , Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomesclassify chronic kidney disease into 5 stages,stage 5 also known as End Stage Renal disease is defined as glomerular filtration rate less than 15 ml/Min/1.73 m2, or the need for renal replacement therapy for survival The kidney plays a major role in phosphate homoeostasis. The kidneys excrete the total net amount of absorbed phosphate.Under normal physiological condition phosphate is freely filtered through the glomerulus. The majority (85-90%) of filtered phosphate undergoes tubular reabsorption primarily in proximal tubules.

Progressive renal insufficiency leads to hyperphosphatemia, hypocalcemia, and secondary hyperparathyroidism .

Hyperphosphatemia known as hidden killer in chronic kidney disease defined as an abnormally high serum phosphate concentration of >1.46 mmol/L (4.5 mg/dL). Its long term complications are renal osteodystrophy, hyperparathyroidism, and increased cardiovascular calcification leading to increased mortality and morbidity .

High serum phosphate can interact with calcium to precipitate calcium phosphate salts in non-skeletal tissues Calcification generally occurs in the blood vessels, heart valves, myocardium, and other soft tissues .

Cardiovascular calcification is probably the main reason for the high prevalence of cardiovascular diseases in chronic kidney disease patients Studies have shown that hyperphosphatemia is associated with increased vascular stiffening and arterial and valvular calcification This is postulated to be caused by elevated serum phosphorus promoting the transformation of vascular smooth muscle cells into an osteoblast phenotype that can mineralize These vascular calcification also lead to left ventricular hypertrophy by decreasing vascular compliance . Poor control of mineral metabolism also has been associated with functional and structural cardiac abnormalities Efforts to reduce morbidity and mortality associated with Chronic Kidney Disease-Mineral and Bone Disorder are therefore primarily directed at controlling hyperphosphatemia via diet, phosphorus binders, and dialysis

Dialysis alone is inadequate in assisting hemodialysis patients to obtain and maintain normal serum phosphate levels . So, other methods of achieving prescribed levels of serum phosphate in hemodialysis patients include the use of phosphate binders and phosphorus dietary restrictions.:

Phosphate binders have been approved by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) for patients treated with maintenance dialysis, and calcium-containing salts are used worldwide not only for the control of hyperphosphatemia but also as a source of supplemental calcium. Several calcium salts are commercially available, including calcium carbonate, calcium acetate, and calcium citrate Sevelamer hydrochloride is a recently developed phosphate binder, which is a quaternary amine anion exchanger without calcium or aluminum. Sevelamer is effective in controlling hyperphosphatemia without increasing the calcium load in chronic hemodialysis patients In addition to its effects on serum phosphorous levels, sevelamer has been shown to decrease total serum cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and to increase high-density lipoprotein levels . These effects may offer additional benefits in reducing cardiovascular complications in patients with end-stage renal disease.

Controlling abnormal laboratory parameters such as calcium ,phosphate and parathyroid hormone as well as preventing the progression of extraskeletal calcification is considered a major component for prevention of the bone disease and other related morbidities and hopefully mortality in chronic kidney disease patients
