[The relationship between metabolic disorder of phosphorus and prognosis in dialysis patients].
According to statistical data from the Japanese Society for Dialysis Therapy, predialysis serum phosphorus concentrations of below 4.0 mg/dl or above 7.0 mg/dl, serum calcium concentrations of below 9.0 mg/dl or above 11.0 mg/dl, and calcium-phosphorus product above 60 mg(2)/dl(2) are risk factors for death. In diabetes patients, calcium-phosphorus product of above 70 mg(2)/dl(2) is a risk factor for myocardial infarction or limb amputation.
