Disorder of electrolyte is the very common symptom of kidney disease. In blood, balance of calcium and phosphorus is very important, which can affect bones and thyroid gland. Supplying calcium is necessary for patients with kidney disease.

Due to kidney disease, kidney function decreases, making excessive phosphorus stack in blood. Moreover, calcium can leak out from glomerular filtration membrane when kidney is damaged. In this situation, calcium and phosphorus can not be kept in balance, so PH value and calcium absorption are affected. Calcium of bones is absorbed out to maintain this balance, leading to bone problems in the long term.

Patients with kidney disease should eat food which contains much calcium with less or no phosphorus. However, this does not mean patients with kidney disease can intake very much calcium in daily life, because too much calcium also does harm to kidney and cause bones problems.
