ABSTRACT
Hyperphosphatemia is common in end-stage renal disease and associates with mortality. Phosphate binders reduce serum phosphorus levels; however, adherence is often poor. This pilot study aims to assess patients’ self-motivation to adhere to phosphate binders, its association with phosphorus control, and potential differences by race.
