In patients on dialysis, Sevelamer or lanthanum salts can be used to maintain normal phosphate blood levels. Sevelamer is a polymer containing amine groups. These protonated amine groups can react with the negatively charged phosphate groups via ionic binding and prevent absorption of phosphate from the gut. Sevelamer is a hydrogel containing cross-linked polyallylamine chains. The negatively charged phosphate can be bound to the positively charged amine groups of the hydrogel in the intestines and removed via the faeces.
