Calcium Acetate

Reckoned for its hygroscopic properties, Calcium Acetate is a calcium salt of acetic acid that helps in phosphate binding. The molecular formula is Ca(C2H3O2)2. Often used as a chemical compound in medical drugs to help increase blood phosphate levels in renal diseases (depending on the medical history and present condition of the patient), Calcium Acetate is also used as an additive in beverages and processed foods, and this calcium salt can comply to many other specific needs other than medical usage. Calcium Acetate is also suitable as a calcium source while manufacturing statin group of medicines.

The impacts of calcium acetate on reaction process, mechanical strength and microstructure of ordinary Portland cement paste and alkali-activated cementitious paste

Abstract The gentle corrosion of acetic acid is frequently utilized to modify recycled concrete aggregates for improving concrete performance, but there is a lack of research on the effect of its process product, calcium acetate (CA), on the properties of...

Calcium acetate versus calcium carbonate in the control of hyperphosphatemia in hemodialysis patients

Abstract Context: Hyperphosphatemia has an important role in the development of bone and mineral abnormalities in end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Objective: To compare the phosphorus binding power and the hypercalcemic effect of calcium acetate and calcium carbonate in hemodialysis patients....

Calcium acetate control of serum phosphorus in hemodialysis patients

Abstract Calcium acetate has many characteristics of an ideal phosphorus binder. It is a readily soluble salt that avidly binds phosphorus in vitro at pH 5 and above. One-dose/one-meal balance studies show it to be more potent than calcium carbonate...
