Phosphorus binder is a kind of drug that can combine with phosphorus in food and be excreted in the form of feces. Phosphorus binder plays a role in gastrointestinal tract and food that is decomposed, digested and absorbed, so it is very important to take medicine while eating or snacks. Taking phosphorus binder for 30 minutes or more after meals will greatly reduce the phosphorus binding efficiency.
Seeing this, do you think that after taking phosphorus binder, you don't have to limit phosphorus in your diet? The answer is just the opposite. When taking the phosphorus binder, it is still necessary to limit the intake of phosphorus in the diet, because a low-phosphorus diet can make the phosphorus binder more effective. Doctors may prescribe some active vitamin D called calciferol to help maintain the balance between calcium and phosphorus. If the content of calcium or phosphorus in blood is too high, active vitamin D will not work, because it will increase the risk of phosphorus deposition in soft tissues such as arteries, lungs, eyes and skin.
Dialysis can remove some phosphorus from the blood. It is very important to insist on every dialysis treatment to achieve the best effect during the treatment. During the dialysis interval, you should strictly limit the intake of phosphorus in your diet.
In order to keep the calcium and phosphorus balance, you need to work closely with nutritionists and doctors. Dialysis patients' blood phosphorus should be maintained in the range of 0.87 ~ 1.45 mmol/L, and the blood calcium target should be between 2. 1 ~ 2.55 mmol/l, and calcium and phosphorus product stress.
