Popis: Hyperkalemia is a common electrolyte disorder in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) that increases in prevalence with the decline of glomerular fltration rate (GFR). Another risk of hyperkalemia is the use of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors (RAASi) and/or mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs) in managing CKD and proteinuria. The treatment of chronic hyperkalemia is challenging especially for outpatients. Treatment options for hyperkalemia include the potassium exchange resins of which two new potassium binders, Patiromer Sorbitex Calcium, and Sodium Zirconium Cyclosilicate (SZC) have demonstrated their clinical efficacy in reducing serum potassium with a positive safety profile. The old potassium exchange resin sodium polystyrene sulfonate (Kayexalate™) has some negative side effects including colonic necrosis, hypomagnesemia, and hypernatremia. In this review and literature search, we compare the available oral potassium exchange resins, highlight their advantages and disadvantages and comment on efficacy and safety parameters specifically in CKD patients.
