Brief summary

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects approximately 26 million Americans with many more at risk for disease development. Elevated serum phosphorus (P) and related abnormalities in P homeostasis due to progressive loss of kidney function are primary driving forces behind cardiovascular dysfunction and mortality in CKD patients. Intestinal P absorption is an critical aspect in P homeostasis but has been understudied, particularly in the early stages of CKD progression. This study aims to determine P absorption in patients with moderate CKD compared to healthy adults.

Interventions

OTHERPhosphorus Absorption Test

Subjects will undergo a radiophosphorus (P-33) absorption test over two days, that will include an oral administration of P-33 on the 1st day of the test, and an IV administration of P-33 on the 2nd day of the test. P-33 activity from serial serum and urine collections will be determined by scintillation counting, and fractional phosphorus absorption calculated by kinetic modeling.
