AAKP HealthLine: Phosphorus Lowering Therapies (PLTs) - Why Patient Care Choice and Access Matters

"Phosphorus Lowering Therapies (PLTs) - Why Patient Care Choice and Access Matters"
Despite advances in medical science during this Decade of the Kidney™, the journey for kidney patients remains challenging, marked by complex treatment regimens, ongoing health complications and serious unmet needs. This HealthLine Innovator webinar will shed light on critical gaps that persist in kidney patient care choice and access to new, innovative and FDA-approved solutions that are emerging to address these challenges.
One such area that demands our immediate attention is the management of hyperphosphatemia, a condition characterized by elevated phosphorus levels in the blood and managed through Phosphate Lowering Therapies (PLTs). Hyperphosphatemia is a common and serious issue for kidney patients, often leading to bone and cardiovascular complications if not effectively managed.
A new, FDA-approved treatment option is already making a difference for patients battling high phosphorus levels while also improving patient adherence and quality of life by reducing the pill burden associated with status quo phosphorus treatments like phosphate binders.
One question that is raised and addressed in this webinar is why the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is planning to restrict patient and physician choice access to this new and safe FDA-approved treatment.
