It has been well known for decades that phosphate reten tion through direct and indirect mechanisms, contributes to the generation and progression of secondary hyperparathy roidism (SHP) and renal osteodystrophy in chronic kidney disease (CKD).1,2 In fact, phosphate retention blocks all DOI of original article: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nefro.2018.05.003. ∗ Corresponding author.
