Figures & data
Figure 1. Percentage of patients with optimal ranges of CKD-MBD markers. Based on the K/DOQI clinical practice guidelines, the optimal ranges of these serum indicators were designated as 3.5–5.5 mg/dL (1.13–1.78 mmol/L) for serum inorganic phosphorus, 8.4–9.5 mg/dL (2.1–2.37 mmol/L) for serum calcium and 150–300 pg/mL for iPTH.

Table 1. Baseline information of the patients in the two groups before health education.
Figure 3. Awareness rate of hyperphosphatemia and dietary habits pre- and post-health education. (a) (1) iPTH, (2) MBD, (3) phosphate binder use, (4) phosphate-rich diet, (5) egg yolk is phosphate-rich and (6) phosphorus removal from meat after boiling in water. (b) (1) less/no meat soup, (2) meat intake control, (3) less/no milk, (4) less/no soybeans, (5) eating egg removal of yolk and (6) meat intake after water boiling.
Figure 4. Comparison of serum inorganic phosphorus levels between pre- and post-health education. Error bars indicate the median and range, and circles and dots indicate the serum inorganic phosphorus level pre- and post-health education. *Significant difference between pre- and post-education (p < 0.05).
