You must first
lower the phosphate quickly to avoid metastatic calcification. Oral calcium given with meals will bind the phosphates in the food, and lower the phosphate Aluminum hydroxide (choice C) will do the same thing, but will risk aluminum toxicity and should be avoided There is usually no need to start urgent dialysis (choice D) to lower the phosphate. It is not used as a first-line treatment in hyperphosphatemia Vitamin D given orally (choice A) will lower the PTH but may only be given after the level of phosphate is lowered. Otherwise, the vitamin D could calcium and phosphate. |
