- Abstract
- Renamezin((R)) is a modified capsule-type oral spherical adsorptive carbon which lowers indoxyl sulfate levels in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD). This 24-week prospective observational cohort study was performed to evaluate the effect of Renamezin((R)) upon attenuation of renal function decline. A total of 1,149 adult patients with baseline serum creatinine 2.0-5.0 mg/dL were enrolled from 22 tertiary hospital in Korea from April 2016 to September 2018. Among them, a total of 686 patients completed the study and were included in the intention-to-treat analysis. A total of 1,061 patients were included in the safety analysis. The mean age was 63.5 years and male patients were predominant (63.6%). Most of the patients (76.8%) demonstrated high compliance with study drug (6g per day). After 24 week of treatment, serum creatinine was increased from 2.86 +/- 0.72 mg/dL to 3.06 +/- 1.15 mg/dL (p<0.001), but estimated glomerular filtration rate was not changed significantly during observation period (22.3<plus/minus>6.8 mL/min/1.73m(2) to 22.1 +/- 9.1 mL/min/1.73m(2), p = 0.243). Patients with age over 65 years old and those under good systolic blood pressure control <130 mmHg were most likely to get benefit from Renamezin(<(R)>) treatment to preserve renal function. A total of 98 (9.2%) patients out of 1,061 safety population experienced 134 adverse events, of which gastrointestinal disorders were the most common. There were no serious treatment-related adverse events. Renamezin((R)) can be used safely to attenuate renal function decline in moderately advanced CKD patients.
