Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to perform a randomized, controlled clinical trial to investigate if the phosphate binder sevelamer can improve insulin resistance and glucose handling in patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis.

1

Sevelamer intervention

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Sevelamer

Intervention Type DRUG

sevelamer tablets, 800 mg (Renagel(r), Genzyme Inc). The initial daily dose of sevelamer will be 2400 mg (800 mg x 3). After the first week of treatment the dose will be increased to 4800 mg. If treatment with sevelamer is well tolerated and if a phosphate concentration of \<1.8 mmol/l is not obtained, the dose may be increased further. The maximum daily dose of sevelamer will be 9600 mg. If a patient experiences side effects, the dose of sevelamer will be reduced to the highest acceptable dose, and, if a phosphate concentration of \<1.8 mmol/l is not obtained, the treatment will be supplemented with calcium carbonate in a dose tolerated by the patient.

2

Calcium carbonate

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Calcium carbonate

Intervention Type DRUG

Calcium carbonate tablets, 250 mg (Kalcidon, Abigo AB). Calcium carbonate will be prescribed at the dose given prior to the washout period. The dose will be adjusted weekly to obtain a serum phosphate concentration \<1.8 mmol/l.
