Sodium zirconium cyclosilicate is an orally administered, non-absorbed, novel, inorganic microporous zirconium silicate compound, is a highly selective cation exchanger that selectively removes excess K+ in vivo. Sodium zirconium cyclosilicate can be used in research of chronic kidney disease (CKD)[1][2].
