[Hyperphosphatemia and diet therapy].
Hyperphosphatemia cause not only renal bone disease but also poor prognosis in hemodialysis patients. We should control serum phosphate levels within near normal range. Although many patients are prescribed phosphate binder, they should restrict oral phosphate intake. There are poor prognosis in malnutrition patients, they should take sufficient protein. Contents of phosphate in foods increase proportionaly with protein contents. It is important that they should take foods with low phosphate contents and low phosphate/protein ratio. They should restrict preserved food, confectionary, seasoning which contain phosphate compounds as food additive. It is useful to take special low phosphate food.
