In HD patients, the mineral load paradoxically induced a decrease in plasma phosphate, whereas ionized calcium remained unchanged although PTH increased. These findings suggest that excess calcium and phosphate may be disposed of by mineral deposition, which may include soft tissue and vascular calcification.
