Cardiovascular Effects of Sevelamer in Stage 3 CKD
Serum phosphate independently predicts cardiovascular mortality in the general population and CKD, even when levels are in the normal range. Associations between serum phosphate, arterial stiffness, and left ventricular (LV) mass suggest a possible ...

Background. Hyperphosphatemia in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients is often treated with calcium carbonate (CaCO3) despite the fact that CaCO3 is associated with increased calcium load and potentially increased cardiovascular risk.

Chronic kidney disease and valvular heart disease: State of the art
Abstract Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and valvular heart disease (VHD) frequently coexist and are associated with a significant increase in morbidity and mortality. Their interplay is complex and multifactorial, involving shared pathophysiological mechanisms such as chronic inflammation, mineral and bone disorder, vascular and valvular calcification ...

Effect of Sevelamer on Mineral and Lipid Abnormalities in Hemodialysis Patients
We conducted a prospective study in hemodialysis patients to assess the safety and efficacy of sevelamer, a non-absorbable phosphate binding polymer free of calcium and aluminum, in lowering serum phosphorus, serum intact parathyroid hormone, and serum ...

Phosphate in Physiological and Pathological Mineralization: Important yet Often Unheeded
Phosphate serves as a building block for physiological mineralization, and as a signaling molecule that regulates the activity of mineralizing cells. The disturbance in these processes could induce a series of pathological mineralization, with abnormal mineralization of hard tissues and ectopic mineralization of soft tissues being the most ...

Nonphosphate-binding effects of sevelamer--are they of clinical relevance?
Sevelamer is an ion-exchanging resin that binds phosphate in the gut. Because it does so without increasing the calcium load, treatment with sevelamer may lead to less vascular calcification and better survival in chronic kidney disease patients. However,

Polymeric Anti‐Antibiotic Microparticles to Prevent Antibiotic Resistance Evolution
This study introduces sevelamer (SEV) microparticles as a repurposed adjuvant therapy to combat antimicrobial resistance. SEV microparticles effectively capture vancomycin (VAN) and daptomycin (DAP), preventing these last‐resort antibiotics from driving resistance.
