  • RARE EARTH METAL COMPOSITIONS FOR TREATING HYPERPHOSPHATEMIA AND RELATED METHODS
    Publication number: 20080226735
    Abstract: Rare earth metal compounds, particularly lanthanum, cerium, and yttrium, are formed as porous particles and are effective in binding metals, metal ions, and phosphate. A method of making the particles and a method of using the particles is disclosed. The particles may be used in the gastrointestinal tract or the bloodstream to remove phosphate or to treat hyperphosphatemia in mammals. The particles may also be used to remove metals from fluids such as water.
    Type: Application
    Filed: March 19, 2008
    Publication date: September 18, 2008
    Applicant: ALTAIRNANO, INC.
