since standard dialysate calcium concentrations ( 3.0-3.5 meq/l ) increase the risk of developing hypercalcemia with large doses of caco3 by inducing positive calcium balance during hemodialysis ( hd ) , we compared control of hyperphosphatemia in 41 hd patients during 4 months each of aluminum hydroxide ( al ( oh ) 3 ) and caco3 when the dialysate calcium concentration was lowered , as required , to maintain the predialysis serum calcium concentration within the normal range .
