Sevelamer in a diabetologist's perspective: a phosphate-binding resin with glucose-lowering potential.
Diabetes, Obesity & Metabolism 2015 Februrary
Sevelamer is a calcium-free and metal-free phosphate-binding oral drug used in the management of hyperphosphataemia in chronic kidney disease. Preclinical and clinical trials have shown glucose and lipid-lowering effects of sevelamer, thereby giving rise to a potential role of the drug in the treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes. These 'novel' effects are most probably derived from the bile acid-binding properties of sevelamer. The proposed potential is supported by the approval of the bile acid sequestrant colesevelam in the United States for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and hypercholesterolaemia. This article offers a brief review on the effects of sevelamer and a perspective on the potential mechanisms behind the glucose-lowering effect of the drug.
