Effect of niacin on hyperphosphatemia in chronic kidney disease (stages 3-5) patients. A randomized double blind placebo controlled trial. |
Brief summary describing the background
and objectives of the trial
|
Patients with end-stage renal disease commonly present with hyperphosphatemia, which is known to be associated with poor outcomes and mortality in chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages 3-5 and in non-CKD patients. It is an important risk factor for secondary hyperparathyroidism and cardiovascular disease. Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) therefore suggest lowering elevated phosphorus levels toward the normal range in patients with CKD stages 3-5.
The use of phosphate binders in reducing the amount of dietary phosphorus absorbed from the intestine is of great importance because dietary phosphorus restriction and removal of phosphorus by dialysis are usually inadequate for controlling serum phosphate.
Unacceptable adverse effects such as hypercalcemia from calcium based phosphate binders, potential toxicities from aluminium based phosphate binders and the high cost of other phosphate binders (sevelamer and lanthanum carbonate) are reasons why they are not considered optimal for treating hyperphosphatemia. Phosphate lowering agents that overcome some of the defects of current therapy are thus needed.
Reports from clinical trials have shown that niacin accomplish obvious reductions in serum phosphate in CKD (stages 3-5 ) patients by reducing sodium-phosphate 2b transporter expression and inhibiting intestinal phosphorus absorption . It has also been used to increase high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and reduce triglyceride levels.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE ; To determine the effect of co-administration of niacin and other phosphate binders on serum phosphate levels in the study population , compared to administration of conventional phosphate binders alone
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES ;
• To determine to what extent niacin affects serum lipids (HDL,LDL and Tryglycerides), calcium and calcium phosphate products ,in patients with CKD stages 3-5.
• To determine the frequency and pattern of adverse effects in the study population
