Valvular calcification in hemodialysis patients randomized to calcium-based phosphorus binders or sevelamer.
J Heart Valve Dis. 2004; (1): 134-41
Valvular calcification is common in patients with end-stage renal disease, and is associated with an unfavorable prognosis. It was hypothesized that sevelamer, a non-calcium-based phosphorus binder, might attenuate the progression of valvular calcification.
