We previously conducted a multicenter study enrolling 101 dialysis patients with hyperphosphatemia in which lanthanum carbonate ( LC ) was administered for 2 years. In this study, the administration has been continued for an additional year, and we have evaluated the long‐term (a total of 3 years) effects of LC . The average serum phosphorus ( P ) level was 6.05 mg/ dL at the start and decreased to 5.84 mg/ dL after 3 years, but no significant differences were observed at both points. The average serum corrected calcium ( C a) level significantly reduced after 3 years ( P  < 0.001). As results of evaluating the achievement rates with the management target values of serum P , C a and intact parathyroid hormone ( PTH ) stated in the Japanese guideline, the achievement rates increased after 3 years. From these results, LC is considered to be a useful P binder that can be used for long‐term treatment of hyperphosphatemia, without causing a C a load.
