CARBOXYLIC CATION EXCHANGE RESIN EFFECTS IN DOGS

Abstract
Female dogs given carboxylic resins in H or Na cycles were studied to determine effects on external, extracellular and cellular balances of Na, K, and N. The hydrogenated resin caused acidosis as well as increased urine volume and increased Na and K in stool with simultaneous decrease of urinary excretion of these elements. The Na form also caused increased stool and urine loss of Na and increased fecal K without acidosis.
