Hyperphosphataemia is associated with increased mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage IV or on dialysis. Furthermore, in animal studies, elevated plasma phosphate has been shown to be associated with an accelerated decline in renal function. The aim of this study was to determine the association of plasma phosphate with renal function loss and mortality in CKD stage IV-V pre-dialysis patients with GFR <20 ml/min/1.73 m(2).
