Alkalosis resulting from combined administration of a “nonsystemic” antacid and a cation-exchange resin

Acute Hypocalcemia and Metabolic Alkalosis in Children on Cation-Exchange Resin Therapy

BACKGROUND Sodium polystyrene sulfonate (SPS) is a chelating agent used for the treatment of hyperkalemia. SPS has a wide range of exchange capacity requiring close monitoring of serum electrolytes. We observed two patients who developed acute hypocalcemia and increased metabolic alkalosis after initiating SPS therapy. We report these cases to draw attention to the potential risk of this medica...

Characters of Kinetic and Equilibrium of Adsorption of Eu(III) by an Cation Exchange Resin

The sorption and desorption behaviors of Eu(III) from aqueous solutions with cation exchange resins containing carboxyl groups (D155 resin) were studied in terms of varied Eu(III) concentration, adsorbent dosage, pH, contact time and temperature. Batch shaking sorption experiments were carried out to evaluate the performance of D155 resin in the removal of Eu(III) from aqu...

A cation-exchange resin artificial kidney: development and metabolic studies.

are relatively few, and generally are related to either inadvertent transfusion of incompatible blood or the outcome of some severe form of injury. The latter may follow a surgical operation or be the result of massive trauma incurred during combat. The consequent renal insufficiency is often temporary in nature, and efforts are directed at prolongation of life by sustaining the patient through...

Clinical effects of a cation-exchange resin (Zeo-Karb 225).

Adsorptive Removal of Al, Zn, Fe, Cr and Pb from Hydrogen Peroxide Solution by IR-120 Cation Exchange Resin

  Adsorption of cations Al, Zn, Fe, Cr and Pb from aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide using IR-120 cation-exchange resin was studied. The removal percentage of the cations was examined by varying experimental conditions (such as pH of the hydrogen peroxide solution, temperature, contact time and dosage of adsorbent) i...
