Effects of Lanthanum Carbonate on Whole-Body Phosphorus and Calcium Balance in Adults With Chronic Kidney Disease and Normophosphatemia.

Article B Peer reviewed Small trial

Key takeaways

This small trial tested a kidney binder called lanthanum carbonate in 15 adults with normal blood phosphorus levels. The study ran for 12 weeks and found that the drug did not change the body's balance of phosphorus or calcium. This suggests the drug is safe for people who do not have high phosphorus levels.
