The Quantitative Estimation of Calcium, Mag- Nesium, Phosphate, and Carbonate in Bone

The Quantitative Estimation of Calcium, Mag- Nesium, Phosphate, and Carbonate in Bone

During the last few years we have been engaged in a study of the inorganic composition of bone. Early in our work we ran into difficulties with methods. The literature contains the description of a variety of procedures for the quantitative determination of calcium, magnesium, carbonate, and phosphate in bone. In our hands, however, these have either not given reproducible results or have been ...

Comparison of Phosphate Lowering Properties of Calcium Acetate and Calcium Carbonate in Hemodialysis Patients

Hyperphosphatemia has an important role in the development of secondary hyperparathyroidism and bone disease in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The most effective method of phosphate elimination lies with phosphate binders, the agent that more commonly used, calcium carbonate, is not an ideal binding agent. In this regard, calcium acetate has been reported to have more or at least...

Calcium Acetate Versus Calcium Carbonate as Oral Phosphate Binder: Preparation and In Vitro Assessment

      Calcium acetate is used as an oral phosphate binder to control hyperphosphatemia in patients with chronic renal failure. Compared to calcium carbonate, control of hyperphosphatemia can be achieved at lower calcium administration with calcium acetate which likely reduces the risk of hypercalcemia. In this study, various formulations of calcium acetate tablets were prepared and their disint...
