True False In patients with below-normal albumin levels, it is important to obtain a corrected calcium value to recognize potential hypercalcemia. Hectorol is an active vitamin D analog. Parathyroid hormone is produced in the pancreas. A good substitute for Dr. Pepper is Sprite. Chocolate, nuts and seeds are high in phosphorus. Cinacalcet replaces binder therapy for controlling phosphorus. Calcium carbonate taken between meals acts as a calcium supplement. High serum phosphorus levels are linked to the development of secondary hyperparathyroidism in CKD and a predisposition to metastatic calcification. Bone meal, dolomite, or oyster shell should not be used as a calcium binder because they may contain dangerous amounts of lead. Phosphate binders should be taken between meals. Alucaps are the first choice phosphate binder to try on patients because they bind so well. Renvela is a non-calcium phosphate binder. Serum phosphorus level of 6.9 is considered low. Rocaltrol is an oral form of calcitriol. A patient has forgotten to take phosphate binder at breakfast. He should take the binder even if it is 3 hours after the meal.
