Abstract

Abnormal levels of inflammation are associated with cardiovascular disease and mortality in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients. Microbial translocation, which may cause inflammation, is decreased by sevelamer in patients undergoing hemodialysis. In this single-arm study, we evaluated the effects of 8 weeks of sevelamer therapy on 36 HIV-infected subjects who were not receiving antiretroviral therapy. Sevelamer did not significantly change markers of microbial translocation, inflammation, or T-cell activation. During sevelamer treatment, however, levels of soluble tissue factor, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, and oxidized LDL cholesterol decreased significantly, whereas D-dimer levels increased. Thus, in this study population, sevelamer did not reduce microbial translocation but may have yielded cardiovascular benefits.

Sevelamer does not significantly change circulating markers of microbial translocation. A, Serum lipopolysaccharide (LPS) levels measured 2–4 weeks before initiation of sevelamer treatment, on the day of initiating treatment, after 4 weeks of treatment, after 8 weeks of treatment, and 8 weeks after cessation of treatment (week 16). B, Plasma soluble CD14 (sCD14) levels measured 2–4 weeks before initiation of sevelamer treatment, on the day of initiating treatment, after 4 weeks of treatment, after 8 weeks of treatment, and 8 weeks after cessation of treatment (week 16). C, Sevelamer decreases plasma soluble tissue factor (sTF) levels, which rebound after treatment cessation. Levels were measured 2–4 weeks before initiation of sevelamer treatment, on the day of initiating treatment, after 4 weeks of treatment, after 8 weeks of treatment, and 8 weeks after cessation of treatment (week 16). D, Sevelamer reduces oxidized low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (oxLDL) levels. oxLDL levels were measured 2–4 weeks before initiation of sevelamer treatment, on the day of initiating treatment, after 4 weeks of treatment, after 8 weeks of treatment, and 8 weeks after cessation of treatment (week 16). Shading indicates treatment period. Thin lines represent individual subjects over time. Thick red lines represents the median values at each study week. P values were calculated using the sign test. Abbreviation: NS, not significant.
