What could be the treatment options for a patient who has hyperphosphatemia and hypercalcemia, and also has chronic renal failure.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Phosphate: Hi. How bad is your creatinine/eGFR? You probably need a low phosphate diet, phosphate binders (e.g. sevelamer), and maybe dialysis. What is your PTH? Probably high. You might need a vitamin D analog (e.g., doxercalciferol or paricalcitol) or cinacalcet. Talk with your nephrologist!
