Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether oral sevelamer carbonate binds advanced
glycation end products (AGEs) in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract of patients with diabetic
nephropathy leading to decrease body AGE load and therefore decreases the inflammation and
oxidative stress in these patients.
