Mrs. Joaquin has a PO4 restriction. Why? What foods have the highest levels of phosphorus?
What will be an ideal response?
• Most Stage 5 CKD patients have elevated serum PO4 d/t lack of activated vitamin D.
• If P stays elevated it stimulates PTH release to promote P excretion, but instead increases breakdown of bone and release of calcium, leading to several bone disorders. The kidney's lack of responsiveness to PTH's signal (from its damage) causes this osteodystrophy due to the overstimulation of PTH secretion.
• To help control blood levels of PO4, it is restricted in the diet and patients often take binders as well to decrease absorption.
• Dairy products and beverages
• Dried beans and peas
• Organ meats
• Whole grains
• Nuts
• Dark colas
• Chocolate
