Key Clinical Message Previous reports have suggested that mucosal barrier failure allows lanthanum to stray into the lamina propria, and macrophages play an important role for the clearance. However, there is no report to analyze the polarity of phagocytizing macrophages. We suggested that M2 macrophage potentially played a major role in the clearance of lanthanum.
