Core Tip
Core Tip: Disordered phosphorus homeostasis in chronic kidney diseases is associated with bad outcomes including cardiovascular morbidity/mortality and progression of renal dysfunction in end-stage of renal disease. Potential health consequences in cardiovascular and kidney disease could be developed in subjects with a high intake of dietary phosphorus despite the apparently normal renal function, due mainly to abnormalities in metabolism and in regulatory factors, rather than to serum phosphorus itself. The maintenance of serum phosphorus in normal range should be obtained.
