A magnesium based phosphate binder reduces vascular calcification without affecting bone in chronic renal failure rats.

A magnesium based phosphate binder reduces vascular calcification without affecting bone in chronic renal failure rats.

The alternative phosphate binder calcium acetate/magnesium carbonate (CaMg) effectively reduces hyperphosphatemia, the most important inducer of vascular calcification, in chronic renal failure (CRF). In this study, the effect of low dose CaMg on vascular calcification and possible effects of CaMg o...
