Are there instances when you would prescribe a phosphate binder to an ESKD patient on hemodialysis who has a phosphorus level in the target range of less than 5.5 mg/dL?

Yes. If the serum phosphorus is increasing and the trend would suggest >5.5 soon. If the patient has history of calciphylaxis. I am sure there are other instances also.
