Summary

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 groups

Conditions

  • CKD Stage 5

Interventions

DRUG

EffCaMgCit

Patients in the EffCaMgCit group will receive 45 meq (900 mg) Ca, 30 meq (365 mg) Mg, and 135 meq total citrate per day from 3 months to 2 years.

OTHER

CaAcS

CaAcS group will take 45 meq (900 mg) Ca and 45 meq acetate (without Mg or citrate), three times daily for 2 years
