Zusammenfassung:Objective End-stage renal disease causes dysregulation of bone and mineral metabolism, including increased serum phosphorus levels. Kidney Foundation Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative 2003 guidelines recommend maintaining phosphorus levels between 3.5 and 5.5 mg/dL in dialysis patients. We examined the effects of a focused phosphorus management pilot program designed to improve the percentage of hemodialysis patients achieving phosphorus levels
