Division of Experimental Diabetes and Aging, Department of Geriatrics, Divisions of Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, New York; and Nephrology, Department of Medicine, and Mount Sinai Health System, New York, New York

Background And Objectives: The primary goals were to re-examine whether sevelamer carbonate (SC) reduces advanced glycation end products (AGEs) (methylglyoxal and carboxymethyllysine [CML]), increases antioxidant defenses, reduces pro-oxidants, and improves hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Secondary goals examined albuminuria, age, race, sex, and metformin prescription.

Design, Setting, Participants, & Measurements: This two-center, randomized, intention-to-treat, open-label study evaluated 117 patients with T2DM (HbA1c >6.
