title: [Front line of management of hyperphosphatemia in hemodialysis patients].
abstract: Management of hyperphosphatemia in hemodialysis patients is very important to prevent progress of renal hyperparathyroidism or ectopic calcification. Sevelamer hydrochloride is a Ca and Al free phosphate binder, and reduces serum phosphorus level, without any influence on serum Ca level, and Ca-P products. This compound is expected to reduce the incidence of arterial calcification, and improve the QOL (quality of life) of hemodialysis patients.
