Abstract
Background: Hyperphosphatemia is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). Whereas clinical and observational studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of sucroferric oxyhydroxide (SO) in controlling serum phosphorus (sP) in ESKD, data on the real-world impact of switching to SO in patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD) are limited. In this retrospective database analysis, we examine the impact of SO on sP management over a 1-year period among PD patients prescribed SO as part of routine clinical care.
Methods: We analyzed de-identified data from adults on PD in Fresenius Kidney Care clinics who were prescribed SO monotherapy between May 2018 and December 2019 as part of routine clinical management. Changes from baseline in sP levels, phosphate binder (PB) pill burden, and laboratory parameters were evaluated during the four consecutive 91-day intervals of SO treatment.
Results: The mean age of the 402 patients who completed 1 year of SO was 55.2 years at baseline, and they had been on PD for an average of 19.9 months. SO was initiated with no baseline PB recorded in 36.1% of patients, whereas the remaining 257 patients were switched to SO from sevelamer (39.7%), calcium acetate (30.4%), lanthanum (1.2%), ferric citrate (14.0%), or more than one PB (14.8%). Mean sP at baseline was 6.26 mg/dL. After being prescribed SO, the percentage of patients achieving sP ≤ 5.5 mg/dL increased from 32.1% (baseline) to 46.5-54.0% during the 1-year follow-up, whereas the mean number of PB pills taken per day decreased from 7.7 at baseline (among patients on a baseline PB) to 4.6 to 5.4. Serum phosphorus and PB pill burden decreased regardless of changes in residual kidney function over the 12-month period. Similar results were observed for the full cohort (976 patients who either completed or discontinued SO during the 1-year follow-up).
Conclusions: Patients on PD who were prescribed SO as part of routine care for phosphorus management experienced significant reductions in SP and PB pills per day and improvements in sP target achievement, suggesting the effectiveness of SO on SP management with a concurrent reduction in pill burden.
