Abstract:
Lanthanum carbonate is a new nonaluminium, noncalcium phosphate binder. The drug is well-tolerated its side-effects seem comparable to those of other phosphate binders. The most frequent side-effects are gastrointestinal complications. Cerny [New England Journal of Medecine 355(2006)1160.] and Kunzendorf have recently reported another effect of lanthanum carbonate based on its radiographic characteristics. We report another case of opacification of the intestine with lanthanum carbonate which underlines some difficulties in the use of this new phosphate binder.

However, the stretching absorptions for the C=O bond vary depending on the structure of carboxylic acids. The C=O bond of the free carboxylic acids shows a higher stretching frequency, 1760 cm−1, while H-bonded carboxylic acids (dimers) exhibit stretching absorptions at a lower frequency, 1710 cm−1. The C=O bond of the...
