Lanthanum (La) carbonate is an effective phosphate-binder, used to reverse hyperphosphataemia due to chronic kidney disease. Some recent studies in rodents have cast safety uncertainties. The aims of this study were to examine the effects of La on parathyroid hormone (PTH) gene expression and hepatic toxicity.
