Excess potassium in the blood is a common condition in chronic renal failure and is potentially life-threatening. The action of the functional polymer is simple ion exchange; the polymer is in the sodium form and the sodium ions are exchanged with the excess potassium in the blood stream as the resin passes through the GI tract. Typical dosage amounts are 15-60 g per day for extended periods of time. Formulations are either powder sachets or aqueous suspensions.
