Abstract
A method of selecting or determining a candidate compound suitable for use as a phosphate binder is disclosed. The candidate compound includes ferric compounds, ferric compound complexes, and their derivatives, salts, analogs, and metabolites. The effectiveness of the candidate compound as a phosphate binder is evaluated by a method, comprising measuring and correlating reduction of phosphate concentration in solution and reduction of phosphate absorption in cells.
