Abstract

We assessed the tubular reabsorption of phosphate (TRP) and maximal renal threshold for phosphate reabsorption to glomerular filtration rate (TmPi/GFR) and their determinants in 64 stages 2-4 chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients in order to define the early changes in phosphate metabolism in CKD. In multivariable analysis, TmPi/GFR correlates were estimated GFR (eGFR), intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), and hemoglobin (R2 = 0.417), while TRP correlates were eGFR, iPTH, 24-h phosphaturia, and calcitriol (R2 = 0.72). This suggests that TmPi/GFR and TRP, respectively, assess hemoglobin-phosphate and bowel-kidney phosphate regulation axis. Iron supplementation based on TmPi/GFR or earlier phosphate restriction based on TRP should be investigated in view of modifying clinical outcomes in CKD.
