Abstract | When extrapolating data from animal toxicological studies a default factor (dUF) of 100 is applied to derive a heath based guidance value. The UF takes into account the interspecies differences (ID) and the intraspecies variability (IV). When re-evaluating the safety of phosphates used as food additives nephrocalcinosis was identified as the critical endpoint. The underlying mechanism for nephrocalcinosis was attributed to the precipitation of calcium phosphate in the kidney, depending on its solubility, irrespective of the species and the population. Based on the mechanism, the volume of primary urine, for which the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was used as a proxy, was considered to be the only parameter relevant for ID and IV. Median value of GFR in rats was 4.0 ml/min/kg bw. In humans it was 1.6 ml/min/kg bw in healthy adults and 0.9 in elderly. These values were calculated from the distribution of the GFR data from 8 studies in rats (n = 191), 16 studies in adults (n = 1540) and 5 studies in elderly (n = 2608). Multiplying the distribution of the ratio rat/healthy humans (ID) with the distribution of the ratio healthy humans/elderly human (IV) resulted in a phosphate specific factor of 4.5 (3.3-6.7) (median; 25th - 75th percentile). |
