Introduction: Lanthanum carbonate (LC) and sevelamer hydrochloride (SH) are non-calcium-based phosphate binders (NCPB), used to manage hyperphosphatemia in patients with chronic kidney disease. We compared the efficacy of LC and SH in lowering serum phosphate level in patients on haemodialysis or continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. Methods: Treatment profiles of a group of dialysis patie...
