Abstract:
64.1% of haemodialysis (HD) patients and 60.5% of peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients achieved the Renal Association (RA) audit measure for phosphate (<1.7 mmol/L). . 35.9% of HD and 39.5% of PD patients had a serum phosphate above the RA audit standard (>=1.7 mmol/L). Simultaneous control of all three parameters (calcium, phosphate and parathyroid hormone (PTH)) within current target ranges was achieved by 27.6% of HD and 33.1% of PD patients. 79.3% of HD and 77.8% of PD patients had adjusted calcium in the recommended target range of 2.2-2.5 mmol/L. 57.1% of HD and 61.3% of PD patients had phosphate between 1.1-1.7 mmol/L. 56.8% of HD and 63.6% of PD patients had a serum PTH between 16-72 pmol/L. 18.8% of HD and 13.9% of PD patients had a serum PTH >72 pmol/L. 64.3% of HD and 80.4% of PD patients achieved the audit measure for bicarbonate 18-24 mmol/L for HD patients and 22-30 mmol/L for PD patients).
