Synthetic Hydrated Aluminum Silicates as Oral Adsorbents of Potassium Ion

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...

Description
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.
