Brief summary

Sevelamer hydrochloride (SE) can increase intestinal calcium absorption in contrast to lanthanum carbonate (LA). Study compared effect of LA and SE on serum and urine phosphate and calcium, and hormones regulating mineral-bone metabolism.

Detailed description

Recent experimental studies have shown that a non-calcium based phosphate binder sevelamer hydrochloride can increase intestinal calcium absorption in contrast to lanthanum carbonate. It is unknown whether such the difference may have an effect on bone metabolism and/or modify the development of vascular calcification in patients with chronic kidney disease. The aim of the study was to compare the effect of a single dose of 1000 mg of lanthanum carbonate with 2,4 mg of sevelamer hydrochloride on serum and urine calcium following an oral load of 5 g of calcium carbonate given with a meal with standardized phosphate content.

Interventions

Single oral doses of lanthanum (1000 mg) or Sevelamer (2400 mg) were administered in random order 15 minutes after 5 g calcium carbonate with standardized meal

DRUGLanthanum Carbonate

Single oral doses of lanthanum (1000 mg)

Intervention model description

Prospective randomized open-label study included 34 patients with CKD. Single oral dose of one of phosphate binders (sevelamer or lanthanum) were administered in random order 15 minutes after 5 g calcium carbonate with standardized meal. Serum calcium, phosphate and parathormone were measured at 0, 3, 6, 12, 24 hours after each medication. Bone alkaline phosphatase (BAP), sclerostin, calcitriol and FGF-23 were measured at 0, 12 and 24 hours after dose. Calcium and phosphate were measured in 24h urine collections after each drug.
