  • Descrição: This cohort study evaluated the effects of an educational program about metabolism and control of serum levels of calcium (Ca), phosphorus (PO4), parathormone (PTH), Ca x PO4 product on 33 stable patients on hemodialysis. Patients were randomized into two groups: control (n = 17) and intervention (n = 16). The control group received information on vascular access. The intervention group was informed about Ca, PO4 and PTH metabolism.The changes in knowledge were evaluated using tests. Treatment compliance was assessed by serial laboratory tests. No significant change was observed in their knowledge [intervention: 8/17 vs. 14/17 competent patients before and after class, respectively (P < 0.001); control: 11/16 vs. 13/16 competent patients, respectively (P < 0.001)]. A reduction was observed in PO4 and Ca x PO4 product between time 0 and 1 in both groups and between time 1 and 2 in the control group. The program did not induce changes in knowledge or behavior. In conclusion, chronic renal patients should be offered continuous educational programs.
