The more dialysed kidney take pills, more secondary the effects than they suffer and worst their quality of life, a new study finds.

Dialysed must take more pills than the majority of the patients presenting of other chronic diseases. In this study, the researchers at the biomedical research institute of Los Angeles looked at burden of pill in 233 dialysed in the United States.

The patients took an average of 19 pills per day, but 25 percent took more than 25 pills one day. The patients presenting a high burden of pill reported a poorer physical health.

Phosphate bindings, drugs which order the level of phosphorous in blood, explained approximately half of the daily burden of pill. The study noted that 62 percent of didn patients of 't take these drugs as directed. The more patients of phosphate bindings were prescribed, the less they were to take the drugs as directed probable, and the less they were to have their phosphorous levels of blood under the order probable.

The researchers said their results suggest that which increases the number of doesn of pills of 't prescribed improve the order of the phosphorous levels and can have like consequence a quality of life relating to poorer health.

All the efforts to reduce dialysed 'burden of pill must address the number of prescribed phosphate bindings, the researchers said.

The study, financed by Shire Pharmaceuticals, appears in a nearest edition of the clinical newspaper of the american company of the nephrology.
