Ion imbalance (eg hyperkalemia, hypercalcemia, hyperphosphatemia and hyperoxalate) and / or increased fluid retention (eg congestive heart failure and end-stage renal disease (ESRD)) To provide treatments for diseases associated with the disease. Cross-linked polyelectrolyte polymer beads having bound counterions that absorb about 20 times or more of their mass in saline, such as saline. However, when the only other counter ion is hydrogen, sodium does not exceed 60% of the total bound counter ion. [Selection figure] None |
