Potential Therapeutic Role of Effervescent Calcium-Magnesium Citrate in Chronic Kidney Disease Stage V

Description

The Investigators plan to conduct a long-term trial to explore therapeutic implications of effervescent calcium magnesium citrate (EffCaMgCit) in CKD Stage V (end stage renal disease on hemodialysis). The Investigators will test the hypothesis that EffCaMgCit would retard the formation of calciprotein particles (CPP) in CKD Stage V, thereby reducing the degree of coronary artery and peripheral artery calcification and cardiac hypertrophy-fibrosis. Aim 1. To compare cardiovascular risk of EffCaMgCit versus CaAcS in CKD Stage V Aim 2. To show that EffCaMgCit reduces putative serum FGF23, and increases beneficial alkali load Aim 3. To compare parameters of bone turnover and bone mineral density (BMD) between EffCaMgCit and CaAcS groups150 adult subjects (\> 21 years of age, any cause of CKD) of either gender of any ethnicity with CKD Stage V on hemodialysis will be recruited from Davita-UTSW dialysis centers and randomized into two equal groups in a parallel design, stratified according

Trial Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria: * Adult subjects (\> 21 years of age, any cause of CKD) of either gender of any ethnicity with CKD Stage V on hemodialysis will be recruited. Patients with Type II diabetes and hypertension will be allowed. Treatment with drugs for management of osteoporosis (bisphosphonate, teriparatide, or denosumab) or for chronic kidney disease, customary drugs for hypertension or diabetes, and exogenous estrogen or selective estrogen receptor modulators will be allowed. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with serum Mg \> 3.65 mg/dL (3 meq/L) will be excluded (de Francisco, 2010). Also excluded from the study will be those with bowel disease, hypercalcemia, hypophosphatemia (serum P \< 2.5 mg/dL) and treatment with adrenocorticosteroids or aluminum-containing antacids or drugs.
