Phoxilium® reduces hypophosphataemia and magnesium supplementation during continuous renal replacement therapy

• Background Although associated with severe clinical complications, phosphate remains a neglected ion. Additionally, phosphate balance during continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is complex and multifunctional. The present retrospective study investigated the effects of phosphate-containing CRRT fluid on phosphate homeostasis. Methods We retrospectively analysed 112 patients treated with CRRT at Skane University Hospital, Sweden. The control group was treated with Hemosol® B0 (no phosphate; n = 36) as dialysis and replacement fluid, while the study group received Phoxilium® (phosphate; n = 76) as dialysis fluid and Hemosol® B0 as replacement fluid.
