Clinical and experimental therapeutic strategies to target phosphate homeostasis in CKD. Dietary phosphate restriction and inhibition of the intestinal phosphate absorption by phosphate binders and NAM are common phosphate-lowering treatments in CKD patients. Experimental studies investigate the direct targeting of the intestinal phosphate absorption and renal reabsorption by NaPi-2b or NaPi-2a inhibitors. NaPi-2a/b, type IIa/b sodium-dependent phosphate transporter; NAM, nicotinamide.
