Hyperphosphatemia is an independent predictor of mortality in end-stage renal disease patients, and 40% – 50% of peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients have suboptimal control of serum phosphate. Systematically addressing this problem requires an understanding of phosphate balance on PD. The present review discusses the determinants of daily phosphate load and focuses on the factors influencing renal and peritoneal clearance of phosphate.

KEY WORDS: Phosphate balance; phosphate clearance; peritoneal phosphate clearance.
