Rationale & Objective: Hyperphosphatemia is present in most patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and has been associated with increased cardiovascular mortality. Phosphate binders (calcium-based and calcium free) are the mainstay pharmacologic treatment to lower phosphorus levels in patients with ESRD. Study Design: We evaluated biochemical markers of vascular calcification, inflammation, and endothelial dysfunction in patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) treated with sevelamer carbonate versus calcium acetate. Setting & Participants: We enrolled 50 CKD patients (stages 3 and 4) and treated them with sevelamer carbonate and calcium acetate for 12 weeks. Outcomes: At the end of the study the biomarkers of vascular calcification, inflammation, and endothelial dysfunction were analyzed. Results: A significant increase in HDL-cholesterol was observed with sevelamer carbonate but not with calcium acetate. Treatment with sevelamer carbonate reduced serum phosphate, calcium phosphate, and FGF-23 levels and there was no change with calcium acetate treatment. The inflammatory markers IL-8, IFN-γ, and TNFα decreased with response to both treatments. The levels of IL-6 significantly increased with calcium acetate treatment and no change was observed in the sevelamer carbonate treatment group. Conclusion: Sevelamer carbonate showed favorable effects on anti-inflammatory and vascular calcification biomarkers compared to calcium acetate treatment. Funding: Funding was received from Sanofi/Genzyme. Trial Registration: Registered at trial.com, registration number NCT01277497.

Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) develop mineral and bone disorder (MBD), a common and important complication, as a result of impaired phosphorus excretion and reduced vitamin D activation. Altered mineral metabolism is now recognized as an independent cardiovascular risk factor in end-stage renal disease patients and contributes to the risk for accelerating vascular calcification. CKD patients are at high risk for cardiovascular disease and vascular calcification which account for the high morbidity and mortality in this patient population. Pharmacotherapeutic interventions are necessary to manage and treat the condition. Multiple classes of agents including phosphorus binders, vitamin D analogs, and calcimimetics are now available to treat CKD-MBD. Recent data have shown that treatment with sevelamer and vitamin D analogs are associated with a reduction in calcification and cardiovascular mortality and improved survival. This article provides an overview of the strategies and considerations for the management of CKD-MBD, as well as their implications on clinical outcomes.

Abstract Background Treatment of hyperphosphataemia is the primary goal of chronic kidney disease–mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD) management. This post hoc analysis of a randomized, Phase 3 study evaluated the effects of 1-year treatment with the phosphate binders sucroferric oxyhydroxide or sevelamer carbonate (‘sevelamer’) on CKD-MBD indices among dialysis patients with hyperphosphataemia. Methods After a 2- to 4-week washout from previous phosphate binders, 1059 patients were randomized 2:1 to sucroferric oxyhydroxide 1.0–3.0 g/day (n = 710) or sevelamer 2.4–14.4 g/day (n = 349) for up to 24 weeks. Eligible patients enrolled in a 28-week extension. This post hoc analysis was performed for patients who completed ≥1 year of continuous treatment (n = 549). As the treatment groups showed similar CKD-MBD outcomes, the data were pooled for this analysis. Results Phosphate-binder therapy was associated with significant and sustained 30% reductions in serum phosphorus (P < 0.001). Median intact fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23) also significantly decreased (P < 0.001) by 64% over 1 year. Intact parathyroid hormone decreased significantly after 24 weeks (P < 0.001), but levels returned to near baseline values by Week 52; minimal changes in serum calcium were observed. Of the bone resorption markers evaluated, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b (TRAP5b) decreased significantly (P < 0.001), whereas CTx increased transiently but returned to baseline levels by Week 52. The bone formation markers bone-specific alkaline phosphatase and osteocalcin both increased over 1 year of treatment. Conclusions Overall, 1 year of sucroferric oxyhydroxide or sevelamer treatment significantly reduced serum FGF-23, which has been associated with clinical benefit in patients with CKD. The trend towards increased bone formation marker levels indicates a beneficial effect on bone metabolism.
