Hyperphosphatemia Treatment Innovations: Phosphate Absorption Inhibitor (PAI)

In part two of this 2-episode mini-series, our panelists discuss the recent approval of tenapanor for hyperphosphatemia management in patients on dialysis by the United States Food & Drug Administration (FDA). Tune into this discussion where our expert panelists share how the phosphate absorption inhibitor (PAI) works, factors to consider when integrating this agent into a patient’s treatment regimen, and how it may impact hyperphosphatemia management moving forward.

Learning objectives:

1. Describe the primary pathways for phosphate absorption.
2. Explain the potential role(s) for a phosphate absorption inhibitor (PAI) for people with CKD who are on dialysis.
