简要总结

The hypothesis is that switching calcium based phosphate binders to sevelamer carbonate will be associated with less inflammation including less atherosclerotic plaque inflammation (inflammation of the vessel walls).

  • History of malignancy except those adequately treated, has completed treatment and clinically in remission for more than 6 month; adequately treated in-situ cervical carcinoma, or adequately treated basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin;
  • History of an inflammatory disease such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis or ulcerative colitis except those in remission for more than 6 months;
  • Patients currently on sevelamer carbonate or sevelamer chloride or history of taking them for more than a week in the past three months;
  • Patients receiving chronic anti-inflammatory therapy;
