Abstract Background and Aims Phosphate binders (PB) are usually prescribed to dialysis patients with hyperphosphatemia. Several studies have reported that higher PB pill burden may reduce adherence and lead to insufficient phosphorus control. Tenapanor is an investigational, minimally absorbed, orally administered, non-binder, small-molecule that inhibits the sodium/hydrogen exchanger isoform 3 (NHE3) in development for the control of serum phosphorus. A previous Ph3 study sponsored by Ardelyx, Inc. (NCT02675998) showed a significant phosphorus decrease compared to the placebo in patients with hyperphosphatemia undergoing hemodialysis (HD) in the US. Tenapanor was expected to reduce PB pill burden since it is administered as one small pill, taken twice a day. This was the first study in Japanese HD patients, which aimed to confirm whether tenapanor reduces the pill burden of PB. Method This was a multicenter, open-label, single-arm Ph2 study. The study consists of a screening period, a 3-week observation period, and a 26-week treatment period. Patients whose serum phosphorus level was ≥ 3.5 and ≤ 7.0 mg/dL, taking at least two PB pills three times a day were enrolled. The patients started to receive 30 mg of tenapanor twice daily. The tenapanor dose could be reduced in a step-wise manner (60, 40, 20 and 10 mg/day) at the investigator’s discretion, based on GI tolerability. PB treatment was continued according to individual regimens, however, the dose could be adjusted appropriately to maintain serum phosphorus level within ±0.5 mg/dL from the baseline. The primary endpoint was an achievement of at least a 30% decrease in the mean of the total number of PB and tenapanor pills compared to the number of PB pills at baseline. The proportion of patients who achieved at least a 30 % decrease were tested using binomial test with a threshold level of 20% and a one-sided significance level of 0.025. The analysis was conducted using the data as of Dec25, 2019. Results The primary endpoint was met. Of 67 enrolled patients at the timing of analysis, 48 patients (71.6%, [95% CI: 59.3% - 82.0%], p<0.001) achieved a 30% decrease in the total number of PB and tenapanor pills, and of those, 35 patients (52.2%, [95% CI: 39.7% - 64.6%]) achieved a 50% decrease and 18 patients (26.9%) no longer required the use of any PB at week 26. Mean phosphorus levels were maintained during the study from 5.2 mg/dL at the baseline to 4.7 mg/dL at week 26. The most frequent adverse event was diarrhea (76.1%), which was mostly mild to moderate. Only four patients discontinued the study due to diarrhea. Serious adverse events were reported in five patients, only two of which were related to tenapanor (diarrhea and acute myocardial infarction). Conclusion Tenapanor was able to provide phosphorus control with significantly fewer pills compared to PB. AE profile was similar to previous US studies. This result suggests that tenapanor, a non-binder, phosphate absorption inhibitor that provides a novel approach to the management of hyperphosphatemia, could potentially improve drug adherence by reducing PB pill burden while maintaining effective phosphorus control.

AbstractObjectiveRetrospectively analyze the clinical data of Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients and explore the value of serum phosphorus level in evaluating the severity and prognosis of the disease.MethodsCOVID-19 patients transferred from the first emergency ward of Taiyuan fourth people’s Hospital from February 8 to March 3, 2020 were enrolled. The information of general conditions, clinical manifestations, laboratory indexes, nucleic acid detection and treatment were collected. The changes of blood phosphorus level and absolute value of lymphocytes in ordinary and severe/critical patients were recorded and compared.ResultsA total of 32 patients with COVID-19 were collected, including 12 cases of common type and 20 cases of severe/critical type. Before treatment, the serum phosphorus levels of the two groups were significantly lower than the normal level, and the serum phosphorus levels of the severe/critical patients were lower than those of the common type patients (t = 2.767, P < 0.010). After treatment, the serum phosphorus levels of the two groups reached normal, and there was no significant difference between the two groups (t = 0.231, P >0.819). The level of lymphocytes in severe/critical patients was lower than that in normal patients (t = 4.636, P < 0.001) before treatment. After treatment, the absolute value of lymphocytes in the two groups reached normal, and there was no significant difference between the two groups (t=1.208,P=0.237). There was a positive correlation between lymphocytes and serum phosphorus, and the correlation coefficient was 0.479.Conclusionhypophosphatemia is related to the severity of COVID-19, and strengthening the monitoring of serum phosphorus level of COVID-19’s severe/critical patients and correcting hypophosphatemia in time are of significance to improve the prognosis.

Tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO) is a rare paraneoplastic syndrome. We herein report a rare case of TIO in a 58-year-old Chinese man who presented with a large lump in the right palm. Clinical, biochemical, and radiological assessments were performed. Laboratory examination showed severe hypophosphatemia, phosphaturia, an elevated serum alkaline phosphatase level, and an elevated serum fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23) level. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry showed low bone mineral density. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed an irregular mass located in the right palm and abnormal findings in several metacarpal bones. During the operation, the surgeons found that the tumor had penetrated the surrounding muscles. The tumor had unique characteristics of local tissue invasion. The patient’s symptoms fully resolved and his serum phosphorus level normalized, although his serum FGF-23 level remained slightly high in the postoperative phase. Our findings suggest that in some patients with TIO, the serum phosphorus level might return to the normal range despite a relatively high postoperative serum FGF-23 level. These patients should be kept under close observation and regularly surveyed for any evidence of a residual tumor.

Abstract Background and Aims Hyperphosphatemia is frequently encountered in hemodialysis patients and is an important risk factor of cardiovascular diseases. It is usually difficult to be managed by phosphate binders and hemodialysis. This study was carried out to assess the effect of nutritional education (NE) on the control of serum phosphorus level in hemodialysis patients. Method An open label, single center randomized controlled trial was conducted in the nephrology department, New Mansoura General Hospital, Egypt. One hundred hemodialysis patients were randomized into two groups; intervention Group (IG) (n=50) subjected to NE program for 3 months and Control group (CG) (n=50) received the usual care. Nutritional education was applied for the intervention group, by a trained renal dietitian, in the form of educational sessions, booklets, procures, audio visual teaching aids and patient-tailored counselling. Nutritional evaluation was done for all patients using dietary history, 24 hour diet recall sheet and malnutrition inflammation score (MIS) in addition to assessment of anthropometrics measurements and routine laboratory tests before randomization and at the end of the study. Results Three months after randomization, body mass index, waist circumference and midarm muscle circumference (MAMC) were significantly lower among IG versus the CG (p=0.04, 0.04 and 0.004 respectively). MIS score was significantly lower among the IG compared to the CG (p=0.02). Regarding laboratory tests, serum phosphorus level and calcium X phosphorus product were significantly lower among IG compared to the CG at the end of the study (p&lt;0.001 and =0.04 respectively) with a percent change of serum phosphorus of -13.8 ± 21.41 after NE. The percentage of patients with hyperphosphatemia (&gt; 5.5 mg/dl) were significantly lower in the IG at the end of study (p=0.04). Other laboratory tests including serum albumin, hemoglobin level, iron status and urea reduction ratio did not show any significant difference between both groups. Conclusion NE applied to dialysis patients added to the control of hyperphosphaemia without exposing the patients to the risk of malnutrition, resulting from injudicious dietary restrictions.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the correlation between renal function and subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFChT) in treatment-naïve proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) patients. This study included 85 eyes of 52 treatment-naïve PDR patients who underwent kidney function testing and urinalysis and 42 eyes of 33 age-matched controls. Treatment-naïve eyes with PDR were categorized into pachychoroid and leptochoroid groups based on the SFChT of the control group. Kidney function profiles were compared between pachychoroid and leptochoroid groups; the relationship between kidney function profile and SFChT was evaluated using regression analysis. Compared with the pachychoroid group, the leptochoroid group had significantly higher serum creatinine (p = 0.026), cystatin C (p = 0.004), and phosphorus (p < 0.001) levels and a lower estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (p < 0.001). Multivariate linear regression analyses showed that SFChT was positively correlated with eGFR (Cystatin C) (p = 0.007) and negatively correlated with serum phosphorus (p = 0.001). SFChT of patients with eGFR < 30 mL/min/1.73 m2 and serum phosphorus level ≥4.0 mg/dL was less than that of patients with higher eGFR and lower serum phosphorus level. The choroidal thickness of treatment-naïve PDR patients is closely affected by renal function. Kidney function test should be considered if SFChT of patients with treatment-naïve PDR is reduced.

BackgroundElevated blood phosphorus levels are common and associated with a greater risk of death for patients receiving chronic dialysis. Phosphorus-rich foods are prevalent in the American diet, and low-phosphorus foods, including fruits and vegetables, are often less available in areas with more poverty. The relative contributions of neighborhood food availability and socioeconomic status to phosphorus control in patients receiving dialysis are unknown.MethodsUsing longitudinal data from a national dialysis provider, we constructed hierarchical, linear mixed-effects models to evaluate the relationships between neighborhood food environment or socioeconomic status and serum phosphorus level among patients receiving incident dialysis.ResultsOur cohort included 258,510 patients receiving chronic hemodialysis in 2005–2013. Median age at dialysis initiation was 64 years, 45% were female, 32% were Black, and 15% were Hispanic. Within their residential zip code, patients had a median of 25 “less-healthy” food outlets (interquartile range, 11–40) available to them compared with a median of four “healthy” food outlets (interquartile range, 2–6). Living in a neighborhood with better availability of healthy food was not associated with a lower phosphorus level. Neighborhood income also was not associated with differences in phosphorus. Patient age, race, cause of ESKD, and mean monthly dialysis duration were most closely associated with phosphorus level.ConclusionsNeither neighborhood availability of healthy food options nor neighborhood income was associated with phosphorus levels in patients receiving chronic dialysis. Modifying factors, such as nutrition literacy, individual-level financial resources, and adherence to diet restrictions and medications, may be more powerful contributors than food environment to elevated phosphorus.

Abstract Background and Aims Calcimimetic agent is used for secondaryhyperparathyroidism (SHPT), but it might cause gastrointestinal side-effects. These side effects are severe problem for PD patients with gastrointestinal symptoms due to dialysis fluid storage. Evocalcet is a new calcimimetic agent for SHPT, and expected to reduce gastrointestinal related symptoms. There have been some reports about switching from cinacalcet to evocalcet or administered for HD patients. However, there have been few reports on PD patients. Here, we reported the efficiency and safety of evocalcet in PD patients. Method PD patients who had newly started to treat for SHPT with evocalcet, between August 2018 to August 2019 were selected. Patients who died or transferred to HD within 6 months after administered evocalcet were excluded. We compared the changes in whole PTH level, serum phosphorus level and serum corrected calcium level with baseline and after administration. Moreover, we investigated adverse events of gastrointestinal related symptoms. Results Overall, 34 PD patients were included, (mean age: 67.5 years old, male/female: 23/11, average PD vintage: 39.6 months, serum phosphorus level: 5.1 ± 1.0 mg/dl). There was a significant reduction in whole PTH at week 16 from baseline (346 ± 187 pg/ml vs 258 ± 196 pg/ml, p &lt;0.001), and this relation was continued at week 32. There was no significant change in serum phosphorus level during this study. Serum corrected calcium level was the lowest at week 12 from baseline (9.4±0.7 mg/dl vs 9.0±0.1 mg/dl: p=0.004), thereafter, serum calcium level was not decline with adjustment of vitamin D receptor activators and calcium preparation. Adverse events were observed in 6 patients (18.2 %), nausea occurred in 3 patients, decreased appetite occurred in 2 patients, and diarrhea occurred in 2 patients. Although some adverse events had occurred, all patients continued study. Conclusion These results suggested that evocalcet might be efficient and safety in PD patients with SHPT.
