ALL ABOUT PHOSPHOROUS(click title for full article link)

This month, KIDNEY WORLD will focus on the mineral phosphorus-what it is, what is normal, how it gets elevated on chronic kidney disease,symptoms,food sources and how we treat it. How do we know when you are not taking your meds? We will tell you. And most important we will discuss the new research that is showing us that if we don't control your phosphorus, it can lead to heart disease and even death. You need to know heart disease is your biggest mortality risk as a kidney patient NOT kidney disease. Controlling your phosphorus is key. Do I have your attention now?

By the end of the month, we are going to get your phosphorus under control. The good news--together we can do it!
