You may not qualify if…

• Inability to comply with study requirements
• Lactating or pregnant females
• History or current manifestations of clinically significant cardiac, respiratory, endocrine (including diabetes mellitus), metabolic, gastrointestinal, dermatological, infectious, malignant, hematological, neurological, rheumatologic or psychiatric disorder, which is not related to the patient's renal insufficiency or deemed by the investigator to preclude suitability for pharmacokinetic assessment or interfere with patient treatment, assessment, or compliance with the protocol
