Calcium supplements risky for kidney patients

Calcium supplements risky for kidney patients

A study in Canada has revealed that kidney patients who take 

calcium supplements to lower their phosphorus levels may be 

at a 22 per cent higher risk of death than those who take 

other non-calcium based treatments.

The study has shown 

that the long-term 

consequences of taking

 calcium supplements 

can be dangerous for 

patients with kidney 

disease.

The researchers 

analyzed 4600 patients

 and assessed the risk of 

heart disease among 

individuals prescribed 

the medication containing

 calcium and those 

prescribed the medication 

without calcium.

They found 22% reduction in death among patients who took non-calcium based treatments.

They also found less artery calcification or hardening in patients who did not take calcium 

supplements.

The researcher Dr. Sophie Jamal who is a physician at Women's College Hospital in Toronto 

said that further research is necessary to help understand how exactly calcium increases the 

risk of death.
