Title: | Colonic necrosis in a young patient receiving oral kayexalate in sorbitol: Case report and literature review | Authors: | Chou Y.-H. Wang H.-Y. MIN-SHU HSIEH |
Issue Date: | 2011 | Journal Volume: | 27 | Journal Issue: | 4 | Start page/Pages: | 155-158 | Source: | Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences | Abstract: | Kayexalate (sodium polystyrene sulfonate) is a cation-exchange resin used to treat patients with hyperkalemia. Concomitant administration of kayexalate and sorbitol may induce gastrointestinal injury, which is potentially lethal. However, this well-documented complication is often underrecognized both clinically and pathologically. We propose a typical case along with colonoscopic photos and microscopic pictures. Additionally, we also present a review of the literature on this rare drug-induced side effect. Copyright ? 2011, Elsevier Taiwan LLC. All rights reserved. |
