seveloger carbonate 800mg (sevelamer carbonate)
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a condition in which the kidneys gradually lose their ability to function effectively. This disease can be caused by conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes or kidney inflammation. Symptoms may include fatigue, swelling, and changes in urination. CKD can progress to kidney failure and require dialysis or a kidney transplant. Disease management includes medication, lifestyle changes, and close monitoring of kidney function and overall health. One of the complications of this disease is hyperphosphatemia or an increase in blood phosphate levels. Seveloger is a drug prescribed to reduce phosphate levels. Hyperphosphatemia can lead to cardiac and skeletal complications.
