Comparison of Three Potassium Binders in Patients With Acute Hyperkalemia

SPS and SZC were superior to patiromer in lowering serum potassium levels in patients with acute hyperkalemia, with no significant difference between SPS and SZC. Considering the established safety concerns associated with SPS, SZC may be the preferred binder for managing acute hyperkalemia in the inpatient setting.

Abstract

SPS and SZC were superior to patiromer in lowering serum potassium levels in patients with acute hyperkalemia, with no significant difference between SPS and SZC. Considering the established safety concerns associated with SPS, SZC may be the preferred binder for managing acute hyperkalemia in the inpatient setting.
