What’s the problem?

It is important that patients taking oral sodium phosphates understand the signs, symptoms, and risk factors for acute phosphate nephropathy. Indications that a patient is developing this form of severe kidney damage include (but are not limited to):

• abnormal heart rate
• bloating
• difficult urination
• fatigue
• high blood pressure
• lower back pain
• muscle spasms and cramping
• seizures

Patients with the highest risk of developing this severe OSP side effect include those who are over 55 and / or who have a history of dialysis, electrolyte imbalance, or kidney disease. Patients can lower their chances of developing acute phosphate nephropathy by:

• taking OSP medications only as directed
• staying hydrated while on a course of OSP drugs (This typically entails drinking at least 8-ounces of clear fluids with each dose of OSP medication)
• familiarizing themselves with the signs and symptoms of OSP kidney damage
• attending all follow-up doctor’s appointments to ensure that no serious side effects have developed
• NOT taking an OSP if they have already taken one within the past 7 days
