Sodium polystyrene sulfonate (Kayexalate) aspiration
In this short report we illustrate a case of extensive sodium polystyrene sulfonate (SPS) aspiration as an immediate cause of death in a terminally ill patient. SPS is a cation exchange resin utilized to decrease potassium levels in patients with renal failure. When administered rectally in conjunction with sorbitol, colonic necrosis and perforation have been documented. On the other hand, oral...
متن کاملColon Necrosis Due to Sodium Polystyrene Sulfonate with and without Sorbitol: An Experimental Study in Rats
INTRODUCTION Based on a single rat study by Lillemoe et al, the consensus has been formed to implicate sorbitol rather than sodium polystyrene sulfonate (SPS) as the culprit for colon necrosis in humans treated with SPS and sorbitol. We tested the hypothesis that colon necrosis by sorbitol in the experiment was due to the high osmolality and volume of sorbitol rather than its chemical nature. ...
متن کاملColonic necrosis due to calcium polystyrene sulfonate (Kalimate) not suspended in sorbitol.
Cation-exchange resins are used in the management of hyperkalemia, particularly in patients with end-stage renal disease. These resins were associated with gastrointestinal tract lesions, especially sodium polystyrene sulfonate (Kayexalate) mixed with sorbitol. We present a case of colonic necrosis after the administration of calcium polystyrene sulfonate (Kalimate) not suspended in sorbitol.
متن کاملMoving away from Kayexalate, sodium polystyrene sulfate.
Peripheral venous catheterization is a frequently required basic procedure in hospital care. However, scientific consideration of the keys for successful catheterization has been inadequate. According to previous reports, the general success rate of peripheral venous catheterization is 74% to 88% [1]. Two nonrandomized controlled trials have implied that the larger the veins are, the easier the...
متن کاملColonic necrosis and perforation due to calcium polystyrene sulfonate in a uraemic patient: a case report
Sodium or calcium polystyrene sulfonate (Kayexalate or analog) is an ion-exchange resin commonly used to treat hyperkalaemia in patients with chronic kidney disease. It is known to cause digestive complications, such as nausea, vomiting and constipation. Although rare, colonic necrosis and perforation are very severe complications associated with the medication. In this case report, we present ...
