Usage

General Description

Sodium zirconium silicate is a chemical compound that is commonly used as a treatment for hyperkalemia, which is a condition characterized by high levels of potassium in the blood. It works by exchanging sodium ions for potassium ions in the gastrointestinal tract, leading to the excretion of excess potassium from the body. Sodium zirconium silicate is highly selective for potassium and does not significantly affect the levels of other electrolytes in the body. It is administered orally and has been shown to effectively lower potassium levels in patients with chronic kidney disease or heart failure. Overall, sodium zirconium silicate is a clinically important chemical for the management of hyperkalemia and plays a crucial role in maintaining electrolyte balance in the body.
