Summary: | The adsorption of potassium ion by synthetic hydrated aluminum silicates (zeolites) was studied to examine the feasibility of application of zeolites as oral adsorbents for the treatment of hyper-kalemia. In vitro and in vivo adsorption studies indicated that one of the zeolites studied(ZPC-10A) had superior physical characteristics as a potassium ion adsorbent, as compared with conventional adsorbents (polystyrene sulfonates). An acute toxicity study also suggested that ZPC-10A is applicable as an oral adsorbent. |
