Nephrol News Issues. 2013 Nov;27(12):22, 24, 26-8 passim.

Abstract

Concordance, a collaborative planning of treatment regimens fitting patients' lives, is an under-recognized aspect of sustainable phosphate control. This article describes one academic dialysis center's patient education intervention, various dosing methods of sevelamer carbonate powder, improved adherence patterns, and phosphate control results.
