The Effect of Sevelamer Carbonate on Serum Trimethylamine-n-Oxide (TMAO) Level in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Stage 3b-4

Summary

The aim of this study is to investigate effects of sevelamer carbonate on reducing TMAO in stage 3b-4 CKD (pre-dialysis) patients. The study will also investigate the safety and tolerability of sevelamer carbonate in study population and the effects of sevelamer carbonate on serum p-cresyl sulfate, indoxyl sulfate, LDL-C and uric acid.
