General comment Lanthanum carbonate, La 2 (C O 3) 3, is the salt formed by lanthanum(III) cations and carbonate anions. It is an ore of lanthanum metal (bastnäsite), along with monazite. Lanthanum carbonate is used as a starting material in lanthanum chemistry, particularly in forming mixed oxides. It is used to lower phosphate levels in patients with end stage kidney disease. High levels of phosphate can make it hard for your body to absorb calcium, which can cause serious medical problems.
