Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: determine whether, in patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) not yet on dialysis, achieve and maintain in a relatively early stage of chronic kidney levels of phosphorus to the lower limit of normal and still below what is recommended by current guidelines, involves a reduction in the rate of progression of CKD and therefore the number of people who come to dialysis and CV mortality, which weighs heavily on patients with CKD. The primary objective of the study is to compare the control group and the intervention group compared to 'end point composite of death from any cause and from the entrance on dialysis.;Secondary Objective: -changes in serum phosphorus, changes in fractional urine phosphorus excretion, in serum parathyroid hormone, and FGF-23 -annual decline in GFR -cardiovascular events: (acute myocardial infarction, stroke, coronary arterial revascularization) -changes in arterial calcifications by using Kauppila score;Primary end point(s): percentage of composite events (death from any cause and any input on dialysis) and composite event time, starting from the entrance into the study. All efficacy assessments will be carried out in accordance with the principle of 'Intention-to-treat analysis (evaluation of all patients initially randomized to one of two types of treatment (usual care or intensive treatment of phosphorus) irrespective of the completion of the study and regardless of the assumption of a rescue therapy. addition Intention-to-treat analysis, an analysis will be performed per protocol patients who completed the study. This endpoint is considered to be of utmost clinical importance because it represents the combination of the two possible events that can occur in CKD 3-5. This outcome will be assessed by the investigator and documented in the CRF;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 24 months | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): 1. variations in the parameters of mineral metabolism: phosphorus, fractional excretion of phosphate, PTH, FGF-23 2. annual loss of GFR 3. occurrence of fatal cardiovascular events or otherwise, including those in the AMI, stroke cerebri, coronary revascularization procedures-see Appendix 3) 4. evaluate whether the treatment of hyperphosphatemia reduces or stops the deterioration of the cardiovascular system (progression of vascular calcification by the score of Kauppila;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 24 months | — |
