Text: Patients of the sevelamer group with a high turnover at baseline had an increase in bone resorption (eroded surface, ES/BS = 9. 0 + / - 5. 9 vs. 13. 1 + / - 9. 5 %, p = 0. 05), whereas patients of both groups with low turnover at baseline had an improvement in bone formation rate (BFR/BS = 0. 015 + / - 0. 016 vs. 0. 062 + / - 0. 078, p = 0. 003 for calcium and 0. 017 + / - 0. 016 vs. 0. 071 + / - 0. 084 microm (3) / microm (2) / day, p = 0. 010 for sevelamer).
