  • Title: [Use of partusisten in prevention of hyperkalemia in patients with chronic glomerulonephritis with initial forms of renal failure].
    Author: Skinskiĭ IM, Komandenko MS, Shulutko BI, Zamoskovskaia GA.
    Journal: Klin Med (Mosk); 1991 Oct; 69(10):83-4. PubMed ID: 1766229.
    Abstract:
    The studies performed proved the ability of the drug partusisten (in a dose of 10 mg/day) to effectively reduce an elevated potassium level in the serum of chronic sufferers with glomerulonephritis and initial renal insufficiency. Normal concentrations of Ca, K and Na in relevant patients remained unchanged except a slight rise in K urinary excretion this suggesting an extrarenal mechanism of K redistribution consequent to the action of beta 2-adrenergic agents.
