The investigators would like to study the role of phosphorus metabolism in the development of
certain hormonal problems in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD). More specifically, the
goals of the research are (1) to understand the cause of hyperparathyroidism - a hormone
problem that often develops in patients who have kidney disease and (2) to test whether
decreasing phosphorus intake could help improve or prevent hyperparathyroidism.
