4 immediate adverse consequences allows for a quick response without significant disturbances in plasma K + Meal intake over 1 h produced a kaliuresis, which occurred in the absence of change in plasma aldosterone and with only a small (0.5 meq/l) increase in plasma K + When the intragastric K + infusion was combined with a meal, there was markedly enhanced clearance of the K + infused Plasma K + and aldosterone can stimulate renal K + excretion only at supraphysiological levels Hypophysectomy and/or afferent nerve section diminishes reflex increase in K + excretion Testing for the role of humoral factors that could mediate the gut factor effects, (gut peptides, such as glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), guanylin, and uroguanylin, and pituitary peptides, such as AVP, α- MSH, γ-msh), were negative Rabinowitz L, Kid Int. 49: 1738, 1996 Oh KS, et al, AJP Regul Integr Comp Physio. 301: R421, 2011

7 Potential channels involved in luminal K secretion: Luminal KCNMA1 (BK) [Butterfield 1997, Hay-Schmidt 2003, Matos 2007, Sausbier 2006] abundance is increased by high dietary K + load, aldosterone, and probably also by glucocorticoids [Butterfield 1997, Lomax 1994, Sandle 1999, Binder 1989, Lam 2004] Cell model of human colonocyte (enterocyte) showing apical (Ap) localization of BK channels, Na+ channels (ENaC) and CFTR (mediating electrogenic K+ secretion, electrogenic Na+ absorption and electrogenic Cl secretion, respectively) and basolateral (Bl) localization of Na+,K+-ATPase (mediating exchange of Na+ for K+), Na+-K+-2Cl cotransporters (mediating Na+, K+ and Cl uptake into cells) and a K+ conductance (to facilitate K+ recycling across the basolateral membrane) that may reflect more than one type of K+ channel..

13 Lack of Clinical Evidence of Efficacy and Safety Before Ruled Effective by FDA First used in the early 1950s FDA Approval in 1958 Report of 30 cases of hyperkalemia treatment with SPS published in g of SPS in water was given per day for 2-6 days. K declined by 0.4 meq/l in 23 out of 30 patients. 2 patients developed significant hypokalemia In 1962, FDAs DESI program ruled SPS 'effective' based upon the above mentioned study Sterns et al. J Am Soc Nephrol May;21(5):733-5.

14 Scherr et al 1961 used Kayexalate mixed in ml of water in 32 patients, two of whom were treated with Kayexalate for 35 to 280 days (remaining treated for 1-6 days) Scherr et al. N Engl J Med Jan 19;264:115-9.

18 Kayexalate Combined with SPS have Reports of Causing Colonic Necrosis 2009 FDA Safety Alert: Cases of colonic necrosis and other serious gastrointestinal adverse events (bleeding, ischemic colitis, perforation) have been reported in association with Kayexalate use. The majority of these cases reported the concomitant use of sorbitol... Concomitant administration of sorbitol is not recommended.

23 PEARL-HF Trial Phase patients with heart failure and a history of hyperkalemia resulting in discontinuation of RAAS inhibitors and/or beta-adrenergic blockers or CKD with GFR < 60 ml/min were randomized to receive 30 g/day of RLY5016 or placebo for 4 weeks Spironolactone was initiated at 25 mg/day and titrated to 50 mg/day if K was 5.1 at Day 15 RLY5016 significantly reduced serum K levels with a difference of approximately meq/l versus placebo
