Phosphate levels of chronic renal failure rats (CRF) after 12 weeks of nephrectomy and phosphate and calcium enriched diet. A Serum phosphate was increased in untreated CRF rats whereas the serum phosphate level of phosphate adsorber treated CRF rats displayed control levels. B Excretion of phosphate during 24 h was decreased after 5/6 nephrectomy and even further after treatment with phosphate adsorbers. C Fecal phosphate concentrations were significantly decreased in nephrectomized rats compared to sham-operated rats. pClM treatment showed similar concentrations to untreated CRF rats. In contrast, LaC treatment resulted in significantly higher phosphate concentrations compared with untreated CRF and pClM-treated rats (min to max, #vs. sham, *vs. CRF,  p ≤ 0.05; +pClM vs. LaC, p ≤ 0.05)
