Why is excess of phosphorus harmful for CKD patients

This informational video gives you a deep insight about What is Phosphorous and How is its Excess amount harmful for the Kidney Failure patients and also, How this can be Prevented! 

Phosphorous - A vital component of your DNA, RNA and ATP, the energy packets of your body. 
It is also present in your bones and teeth, giving structural integrity to your skeletal system.
But the high levels of phosphorous are dangerous for kidney patients. 

How is it dangerous for CKD patients? 
Phosphorous replaces the vital component of bones, CALCIUM, resulting in softening of bones which cause certain bone-related disorders such as knee pain, back pain, etc. 

How to control the phosphorous levels?
Our doctor highly recommends you to reduce the intake of phosphorous-rich foods in your meals. Don’t completely avoid them as this can cause deficiency problems too! 

Phosphorous Binder is highly recommended to be used for the detection and removal of excess of phosphorous from your body, which will significantly reduce the risks of any bone-related issues in kidney patients. 

Moreover, the intake of Calcium supplements is highly beneficial for these patients. These supplements along with an active form of Vitamin D (Calcitriol) aid in providing healthy bones to a kidney patient.
