Comparative Cardiovascular Outcomes of Lanthanum Carbonate and Sevelamer in Dialysis.

Article C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

This study compared two common drugs used to control phosphate in people on dialysis. It used a large database to see which drug was linked to better heart health. This is an observational study, so it shows a link between the drugs and heart outcomes, but it does not prove one is better than the other.
