AB  - Hyperphosphatemia is a serious complication in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), and is associated with more rapid progression as well as higher risk of mortality, and higher rate of cardiovascular disease accidents. CKD patients are usually advised to adopt a low phosphate diet in addition to phosphate-lowering medications, if necessary. However, there is a lack of awareness of the dietary sources of phosphate, especially hidden phosphate intake from phosphate additives in processed foods and carbonated beverages. Appropriate nutritional education could be an effective solution in reducing phosphate toxicity without introducing an additional pill burden or malnutrition.
