Hyperphosphataemia contributes to secondary hyperparathyroidism and renal osteodystrophy in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Calcium salts are widely employed to bind dietary phosphate (P) but they may promote positive net calcium balance and metastatic calcification. We recently reported that ferric compounds bind intestinal phosphate in studies of normal and azotemic rats.
