Hyperphosphatemia is a very important complication of chronic kidney disease, highly associated with cardiovascular mortality. Most patients must use oral phosphate binders to control their serum phosphate levels. Aluminum containing agents have been eliminated from the market for unaffordable aluminum toxicity. Calcium-based phosphate binders are most widely used in current clinical practice, mainly because of fewer side effects and cost effectiveness. However, concerns of calcium load and calcification promote the usage of non-calcium-based binders, including Sevelamer hydrochloride, Sevelamer carbonate, and Lanthanum carbonate. High cost is the main concern of these new agents. Furthermore, new iron-based phosphate binders, Velphoro (sucroferric oxyhydroxide) and Ferric citrate, get FDA approval in recent years. We can expect more choices of phosphate binders in the future to improve serum phosphate control.
