Introduction
- Sodium zirconium cyclosilicate (ZS-9) can acutely decrease serum potassium (K) levels after one dose and may have favorable side effects compared to sodium polystyrene sulfate (SPS).
- ZS-9 replaced oral SPS in the Hyperkalemia Order Set at St. Cloud Hospital in April 2019
Purpose
- To characterize the acute potassium-lowering effects of one 10-gram dose of sodium zirconium cyclosilicate in conjunction with other potassium-lowering medications
