Conclusion: The use of sugar free chewing gum as a supplemental approach instructions was effective in controlling serum phosphorus level. Recommendation: The study was highly reinforced the need for sugar free chewing gum to be used by hemodialysis patients for its positive effect on controlling serum phosphorus level.
