 Renal Pathology
This condition is associated with chronic renal failure, and the patient's BUN and creatinine are elevated.
The end result of many renal diseases--whether they are renal vascular diseases, glomerulonephritis, or chronic pyelonephritis--is end stage renal disease.
Chronic renal failure can be treated by dialysis or by transplantation, as shown here.

 Fosrenol: A new treatment for hyperphosphatemia
Without effective treatment, hyperphosphatemia may lead to renal osteodystrophy, a collection of bone diseases characterized by bone pain, brittle bones, skeletal deformities and fractures.
Accumulating evidence also shows that hyperphosphatemia may contribute to cardiovascular disease, which accounts for almost half of all deaths among dialysis patients.
Even with a low phosphorus diet, most ESRD patients in the U.S. will develop hyperphosphatemia (high phosphorus levels in the blood).
