Hyperphosphatemic familial tumoral calcinosis (HFTC) presents with varied neurological manifestations that have been reported in the literature like facial palsy, vision and hearing impairment, stroke, and headache. In this article, we reported a 12-year-old girl child patient with recurrent facial weakness with bilateral hearing impairment and multiple ulcerative lesions on lower limbs and elbows. On examination, she had lower motor neuron (LMN) facial palsy with conductive hearing loss. The investigations showed hyperphosphatemia (9...

Hyperphosphatemia is an electrolyte disorder highly prevalent in patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis (HD) that usually requires treatment with oral phosphate binders (PBs). Sucroferric oxyhydroxide (SO) is a calcium-free, iron-based PB indicated for the control of serum phosphorus. In the real-world setting, SO has shown clinical effectiveness with a lower pill burden and has also been associated with reduced hospital admission rates. This study aims to assess the potential economic benefits resulting from the introduction of SO to the health-care setting of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA)...

INTRODUCTION: Sucroferric oxyhydroxide (SO), a non-calcium, chewable, iron-based phosphate binder (PB), effectively lowers serum phosphorus (sP) concentrations while reducing pill burden relative to other PBs. To date, SO studies have largely examined treatment-experienced, prevalent hemodialysis populations. We aimed to explore the role of first-line SO initiated during the first year of dialysis. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed deidentified data from adults receiving in-center hemodialysis who were prescribed SO monotherapy within the first year of hemodialysis as part of routine clinical care...

INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of sucroferric oxyhydroxide (SFOH) vs sevelamer carbonate in controlling serum phosphorus (sP) in adult Chinese dialysis patients with hyperphosphataemia (sP >1.78 mmol/L). METHODS: Open-label, randomised (1:1), active-controlled, parallel group, multicentre, phase III study of SFOH and sevelamer at starting doses corresponding to 1,500 mg iron/day and 2.4 g/day, respectively, with 8-week dose titration and 4-week maintenance (NCT03644264)...

BACKGROUND: A key focus for chronic kidney disease management is phosphate control, but currently available binders have suboptimal phosphate-binding capacity, and their characteristics result in low adherence and poor phosphate regulation. Oxylanthanum carbonate, a novel compound that uses proprietary nanoparticle technology to deliver lanthanum, has the potential to combine high phosphate-binding capacity with good intake convenience, thus improving adherence and patient quality of life...

Hyperphosphatemia is a well-known complication of kidney disease. Phosphate binders are a mainstay treatment, but despite the existence of several phosphate binders, there is no one best approach to manage hyperphosphatemia. Phosphate binders are calcium-based, non-calcium- based, and others. While calcium-based phosphate binders are used frequently, they may cause hypercalcemia. Conversely, lanthanum carbonate and sevelamer were not linked to hypercalcemia but are costlier. The most recently developed class of phosphate binders is the ironbased ferric citrate and sucroferric oxyhydroxide...

INTRODUCTION: For patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), the need for phosphate binder (PB) treatment peaks at onset of dialysis. This real-world study assessed rates of PB utilization and switching in patients with dialysis-dependent CKD (DD-CKD). METHODS: We identified patients with PB utilization among those with prevalent DD-CKD using 2018-2019 Medicare Parts A/B/D data. Patients were assigned to cohorts based on primary (most frequently used) PB among calcium acetate, ferric citrate, lanthanum carbonate, sevelamer (hydrochloride and carbonate), sucroferric oxyhydroxide...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: In this study, we show the results of the subset of Spanish patients of the VERIFIE study, the first post-marketing study assessing the long-term safety and effectiveness of sucroferric oxyhydroxide (SFOH) in patients with hyperphosphatemia undergoing dialysis during clinical practice. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients undergoing hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis with indication of SFOH treatment were included. Follow-up duration was 12-36 months after SFOH initiation...

BACKGROUND: Calciprotein particles (CPPs), colloidal mineral-protein nanoparticles, have emerged as potential mediators of phosphate toxicity in dialysis patients, with putative links to vascular calcification, endothelial dysfunction and inflammation. We hypothesized that phosphate binder therapy with sucroferric oxyhydroxide (SO) would reduce endogenous CPP levels and attenuate pro-calcific and pro-inflammatory effects of patient serum towards human vascular cells in vitro. METHODS: This secondary analysis of a randomised controlled crossover study compared the effect of 2-week phosphate binder washout with high-dose (2000 mg/day) and low-dose (250 mg/day) SO therapy in 28 haemodialysis patients on serum CPP levels, inflammatory cytokine/chemokine arrays and human aortic smooth muscle cell (HASMC) and coronary artery endothelial cell (HCAEC) bioassays...

BACKGROUND: Arterial stiffness and calcification propensity are associated with high cardiovascular risk and increased mortality in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Both magnesium and phosphate are recognized as modulators of vascular calcification and chronic inflammation, both features of CKD that contribute to arterial stiffness. In this paper, we outline the rationale and design of a randomized controlled trial (RCT) investigating whether 24 weeks of oral magnesium supplementation with or without additional phosphate-binding therapy can improve arterial stiffness and calcification propensity in patients with stage 3-4 CKD...

OBJECTIVE: Despite the growing number of elderly hemodialysis patients, the influence of age on nutritional parameters, serum phosphorus (sP), and use of phosphate-binder (PB) medications has not been well characterized. We aimed to describe age-related differences in patient characteristics in a large, real-world cohort of maintenance hemodialysis patients, and to examine the impact of age on sP management with sucroferric oxyhydroxide (SO). METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed de-identified data from 2017 adult, in-center hemodialysis patients who switched from another PB to SO monotherapy as part of routine clinical care...

BACKGROUND: Hyperphosphatemia is common in patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD). Restricting dietary phosphorus often leads to a decrease in protein intake, which may result in hypoalbuminemia. The high pill burden of phosphate binders may also contribute to compromised appetite and dietary intake. Hypoalbuminemia is associated with an increased risk of morbidity and mortality in PD patients. The goal of this study was to determine if sucroferric oxyhydroxide improves albumin and self-reported measures of appetite in PD patients...

Hyperphosphatemia is a consequence of chronic kidney disease associated with mineral/bone impairment, increased cardiovascular events and mortality. Therapeutically, most dialysis patients have to take phosphate binders. Here, we investigated effects of the Fe(3+)-based phosphate binder sucroferric oxyhydroxide (SFOH) on the oral and gastrointestinal microbiome of 11 hemodialysis patients. Saliva, dental plaque and stool were collected at baseline, one and four weeks of SFOH intake and subjected to 16S rRNA gene (V3-V4 region) directed Illumina MiSeq-based analysis...

Purpose: In prior analyses of real-world cohorts of hemodialysis patients switched from one phosphate binder (PB) to sucroferric oxyhydroxide (SO), SO therapy has been associated with improvements in serum phosphorus (sP) and reductions in daily PB pill burden. To characterize how SO initiation patterns have changed over time, we examined the long-term effectiveness of SO in a contemporary (2018-2019) cohort. Patients and Methods: Adult Fresenius Kidney Care hemodialysis patients first prescribed SO monotherapy as part of routine care between May 2018 and May 2019 (N = 1792) were followed for 1 year...

Hyperphosphatemia is a common complication in dialysis-dependent patients with chronic kidney disease. Most dialysis-dependent patients need oral phosphate binder therapy to control serum phosphorus concentrations. Most phosphate binders have a high daily pill burden, which may reduce treatment adherence and impair phosphorus control. Sucroferric oxyhydroxide is a potent iron-based phosphate binder approved for use in dialysis-dependent patients in 2013. A randomized controlled trial of sucroferric oxyhydroxide demonstrated its efficacy for reduction of serum phosphorus with a lower pill burden than sevelamer carbonate...

PURPOSE: It has been proved that the gut microbiome is altered in patients with chronic kidney disease. This contributes to chronic inflammation and increases cardiovascular risk and mortality, especially in those undergoing hemodialysis. Phosphate binders may potentially induce changes in their microbiome. This trial aimed to compare the changes in the gut microbiome of hemodialysis patients treated with calcium acetate to those treated with sucroferric oxyhydroxide. METHODS: Twelve hemodialysis patients were distributed to receive calcium acetate or sucroferric oxyhydroxide for 5 months...

AIMS: Hyperphosphatemia is common among patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) undergoing dialysis. The iron-based phosphate binder (PB), sucroferric oxyhydroxide (SO), has a low daily pill burden and is indicated for the control of serum phosphorus in these patients. In a retrospective database study, hemodialysis patients switched to long-term SO therapy had fewer hospitalizations compared with patients switched to other PB therapies. This economic analysis aimed to quantify potential cost-savings of reduced hospitalizations associated with SO for healthcare systems in five European countries...

PURPOSE: Vadadustat is an oral hypoxia-inducible factor-prolyl hydroxylase inhibitor approved in Japan for the treatment of anemia in chronic kidney disease.
