摘要:
Cross-linked polyelectrolyte polymers with bound counterions that absorb about 20-fold or more of their mass in saline such as physiological saline a with the proviso that sodium does not exceed 60% of total bound counterions when hydrogen is the sole other counterion, are disclosed. Methods of preparing the disclosed polymers and for treating subjects such as patients in need of fluid removal and/or modulation of ions (e.g., sodium and/or potassium) are provided.
摘要:
The subject invention is a method and material for removing fluid from the intestinal tract of a host and may be useful in treating animals or human patients suffering from fluid overload states. In one embodiment, the subject method involves ingesting an enterically coated non-systemic, non-toxic, non-digestible, water absorbing polymer which absorbs fluid while passing through the intestinal tract. The polymer is excreted in the feces wherein the polymer and absorbed fluid is removed from the body. Preferred polymers include super absorbent acrylic acid polymers, preferably provided in bead form. The polymers may include functional groups for selectively removing blood borne waste products, e.g. urea, from the G.I. tract.
摘要:
The present disclosure relates generally to use of crosslinked cation-binding polymers containing carboxylic acid groups for treatment of heart failure and associated symptoms and conditions. In particular, the disclosed polymers, and compositions, formulations, and dosage forms containing the polymers, may be used to treat ion and/or fluid imbalances associated with heart failure.
