Now chewing gum can help for kidney disease

According to a study, chewing gum with a phosphate-binding ingredient can provide you great assistance to cure high phosphate levels in dialysis patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).

The results recommend that this simple move could uphold the proper phosphate levels and also assist to prevent cardiovascular disease in these patients.

However, Hyperphosphatemia that is the high levels of phosphate in the blood commonly takes place in CKD patients on dialysis. Even when patients seek medications to trim down phosphate obtained through their diet, about half of them cannot cut phosphate to suggested levels.

As hyperphosphatemia patients also have high levels of phosphate in their saliva, researchers investigated whether there might be an advantage to binding salivary phosphate at the time of fasting, to using phosphate binders with meals as well.

On the other hand, Vincenzo Savica and Lorenzo A. Cal the Universities of Messina and Padova, Italy, respectively, and colleagues recruited 13 dialysis patients with high blood phosphate levels to chew 20 mg of phosphate-binding chewing gum twice every day for two weeks between meals, also to their prescribed phosphate-binding regimen.

Savica and Cal team discovered that salivary phosphate and blood phosphate levels reduced through the first week of chewing, and by a fortnight, salivary phosphate diminished 55 percent and blood phosphate declined 31 percent from levels measured at the beginning of the study.

According to a Messina-Padova joint release Salivary phosphate returned to its original level by day 15 after stopping the chewing gum, while blood phosphate took 30 days to return to its original value.
