for hyperphosphatemia in adults with chronic kidney disease on dialysis
Hyperphosphatemia is a condition where too much phosphate builds up in the blood, which can lead to harmful calcium deposits in soft tissues and muscle spasms. Oxylanthanum carbonate is an oral medicine that binds to phosphate in the digestive tract. By trapping dietary phosphate before it enters the bloodstream, this drug may help lower phosphate levels in patients on dialysis.
The goal of this clinical study is to test the tolerability of oxylanthanum carbonate (OLC) in patients with chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis and have hyperphosphatemia (too much phosphorus in their blood). The main question it aims to answer is whether patients taking OLC for hyperphosphatemia are able to tolerate the drug
