ding mineral deposits in the heart and blood vessels, bone disease and even death. Because phosphorus is found in so many foods, patients often cannot reach target blood phosphorus levels through dietary restriction and dialysis alone, and they generally treat hyperphosphatemia by taking phosphate binders, such as FOSRENOL(R) (lanthanum carbonate), at meals and snacks. Phosphate binders "soak up" phosphorus in the gastrointestinal tract before it can be absorbed into the blood, thereby helping patients maintain target blood phosphorus levels.

"As part of our ongoing commitment to patients with CKD Stage 5, Shire is developing several resources to help patients and their families overcome the challenges associated with following a kidney-friendly diet. Kidney Friendly Comfort Foods, Volume II and today's cooking demonstration are just two of many tools Shire is offering the CKD Stage 5 community this year to help patients better manage their health," said Joseph Schlitz, Shire, Vice President, U.S. Renal Commercial Operations.

Hyperphosphatemia is a difficult condition to treat because it requires patients to follow a special diet, attend dialysis sessions and comply with a prescribed binder therapy regimen that may require up to 12 pills a day. However, patients with hyperphosphatemia may be able to reduce their pill burden to as few as one tablet with each meal with treatments such as FOSRENOL. (Dosing based on as few as three tablets per day. Number of meals per day may vary. To achieve certain doses, additional tablets may be required.)
