A method of reducing phosphate absorption in a human or non-human animal subject wherein the subject consumes a diet containing phytic acid or phytate and either has or is at risk of developing hyperphosphatemia, the method comprising the step of:
- administering orally to the subject an anti-phytic acid antibody or an anti-phytate antibody in an amount effective to reduce or maintain the serum phosphate concentration in the subject.
A method of reducing phosphate absorption in a human subject who has a kidney disease, receives a vitamin D compound, and consumes a diet containing phytic acid or phytate wherein the vitamin D compound renders the phytic phosphate in the diet available for absorption, the method comprising the step of:
- administering orally to the human subject an anti-phytic acid antibody or an anti-phytate antibody in an amount effective to reduce or maintain the serum phosphate concentration in the subject.
