Abstract
Sevelamer is phosphate lowering oral agent used in chronic kidney disease (CKD) to decrease oral phosphate absorption. Sevelamer has been shown to cause crystalline induced colitis. This can manifest as abdominal pain or gastrointestinal bleeding. We present a case with chronic kidney disease and Moyamoya syndrome that presented with abdominal pain and anemia. Colonoscopy revealed a single circumferential cratered ulcer in the transverse colon. Pathology showed crystalline induced colitis. Sevelamer was discontinued and the patient`s symptoms improved.
