A member asked:
Could renagel 800mg help with high potassium?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Phosphorus : No, Renagel binds phosphorus in the GI tract, thereby preventing its absorption and helping lower blood phosphorus levels which is particularly helpful for patients with advanced kidney disease or those already on dialysis who are prone to high blood phosphorus levels. Renagel has no effect on potassium.
