Renvela acts as a phosphate binder, preventing the absorption of phosphate from foods in the digestive tract. This helps CKD patients manage high phosphate levels in the blood, which is crucial for preventing complications like bone and heart problems. The active ingredient, Sevelamer Carbonate, binds to phosphate in your bowel, lowering the amount absorbed into your system.

Managing phosphate levels is essential in CKD patients, particularly those on dialysis, to reduce the risk of serious health issues related to bone weakness and cardiovascular complications.
