Motivation
- When the phosphate level in blood exceeds 6.5 mg/dl, a patient kidney failure has a high risk of death.
- A high serum concentration of phosphate (pi) is clearly related to pruritus (搔癢症) and hyperparathyroidism (甲狀旁腺功能亢進症), both manifestations of the uremic syndrome.
- Phosphorus excess also inhibits 1 alpha-hydroxylase and hence the production of calcitriol, the active vitamin D metabolite.
- Phosphorus retention also alters polyamine metabolism by causing decreases in intestinal function and proliferation of intestinal villi.
Goal
- Enhance and regulate the phosphate absorption of E.coli to balance phosphate concentration to a normal level in patients with kidney failure.
- This device operates when:
- external pH is high.
- external phosphate level is high.
