SODIUM RESTRICTION AND CATION EXCHANGE RESIN THERAPY IN NEPHROTIC CHILDREN

Sodium restriction and cation exchange resin therapy in nephrotic children.

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...

Carboxylic cation exchange resin effects in dogs.

Reports describing trials of exchange resins in removing cations from the gastrointestinal tract of experimental animals have been limited to toxicity studies and to measurements of the relative magnitudes of the oral intake and the stool output (1-3). In the experiments presented in this paper changes in serum, urine, and stool components, as well as the external and internal balances of certa...

Cation uptake by exchange resin in vitro and the colon as a sodium-conserving organ.

Cation-exchange resins have not fulfilled early expectations. Those in clinical use do not retain much sodium in the feces when dietary sodium is much restricted. Comparison of the sodium and potassium bound by a resin, in equilibrium with presumably normal electrolytes as found in the terminal ileum, with the amounts of those ions in the feces, permits an overall evaluation of two major factor...

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...
