Originally Published 1 year ago — by Medical Xpress
Scientists have developed the first mineral-based treatment for hyperkalemia, a widespread disease affecting millions worldwide, using the structure of crystals. The treatment, based on the crystal structure of cubic zirconium silicate, allows patients to flush out excess potassium through ion transfer, offering a potentially safer and more durable alternative to existing medications with harmful side effects and dietary restrictions. This breakthrough opens the door to more advanced mineral-based treatments for various illnesses in the future.
