title: Gastrointestinal sorbents for the treatment of uremia. I. Lightly cross-linked carboxyvinyl polymers.
abstract: Studies to determine the feasibility of using lightly cross-linked carboxyvinyl polymers as gastrointestinal sorbents in the treatment of uremia were conducted in normal and uremic rats. In normal rats, a highly swellable bead-form resin (150-2190) was found to decrease urinary N excretion and to increase fecal excretion of NH3, urea, total N, Na, K, Ca and Mg when fed at a level of 5 g/100g diet. There was also an increase in fecal water content and a marked decrease in fecal phosphate excretion. In rats made uremic by treatment with uranyl nitrate, 150-2190 decreased the rate of increase in BUN.
