Calcium Polystyrene Sulfonate is an ion-exchange resin that is recommended for the treatment of hyperkalaemia associated with anuria or severe oliguria. It is also used to treat hyperkalaemia in patients requiring dialysis and in patients on regular haemodialysis or on prolonged peritoneal dialysis.
Calcium Polystyrene Sulfonate is an ion-exchange resin that is recommended for the treatment of hyperkalaemia.
Aim: The objective of this article was to review the efficacy and safety evidence for patiromer, sodium zirconium cyclosilicate (ZS9), and sodium polystyrene sulfonate (SPS) for the treatment of hyperkalemia.
Areas covered: Although sodium polystyrene sulfonate has been a mainstay of acute management of hyperkalemia for decades, evidence regarding its efficacy is limited, and its chronic use is not routinely recommended for concerns regarding toxicity.
Calcium Resonium is an ion-exchange resin that is recommended for the treatment of hyperkalaemia associated with anuria or severe oliguria. It is also used to treat hyperkalaemia in patients requiring dialysis and in patients on regular haemodialysis or on prolonged peritoneal dialysis.
Resonium A is an ion-exchange resin that is recommended for the treatment of hyperkalaemia associated with anuria or severe oliguria. It is also used to treat hyperkalaemia in patients requiring dialysis and in patients on regular haemodialysis or on prolonged peritoneal dialysis.
Introduction: Hyperkalemia is a chronic and life-threatening electrolyte disorder that affects millions of patients around the world with decreased kidney function, hypertension, and heart failure.
Objective: To determine whether treatment of hospitalized patients with mild hyperkalemia (using SPS or another approach, relative to no treatment) was associated with achievement of normokalemia (serum potassium < 5.1 mmol/L).
Although hyperkalemia is much more common in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), the reported frequency of hyperkalemia varies markedly across studies, primarily due to differences in the ascertainment of hyperkalemia and the severity of CKD.
