BACKGROUND: Sodium zirconium cyclosilicate, a non-absorbed non-polymer zirconium silicate, is a new potassium binder for hyperkalemia. A previous report showed that administering sodium zirconium cyclosilicate to patients with hyperkalemia allows ...
A common renal disease, immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy (IgAN), is associated with glomerular deposition of IgA1-containing immune complexes. IgA1 hinge region (HR) has up to six clustered O-glycans consisting of Ser/Thr-linked N-acetylgalactos...
