About hyperkalemia
有关高钾血症
Hyperkalemia is a serious condition in which the amount of potassium in the blood exceeds the normal level (between 3.5 and 5.0 mmol/L)7. Usually, hyperkalemia remains asymptomatic. However, when the levels of potassium are very high or increase rapidly, people may experience heart palpitations, shortness of breath, chest pain, nausea, or vomiting 8, 9.
高钾血症是一种严重疾病，指血液中的钾含量超过正常水平（3.5至5.0毫摩尔/升）。通常，高钾血症是无症状的。然而，当钾水平非常高或者迅速增加时，人们可能会出现心悸、呼吸急促、胸痛、恶心或呕吐的症状。
The most common causes of high potassium include chronic kidney disease (CKD) and heart failure (HF). Medications used to delay progression of HF and CKD – renin-angiotensin aldosterone system inhibitor (RAASi) – may as well increase the risk of hyperkalemia10.
高钾的最常见原因包括慢性肾病（CKD）和心力衰竭（HF）。用于延缓 HF 和 CKD 进展的药物 - 肾素-抗肾上腺素醛固酮系统抑制剂（RAASi）- 也可能增加高钾血症的风险。
About Veltassa (patiromer)
关于Veltassa（patiromer）
Veltassa is a sodium-free exchange potassium binder which reduces high amounts of potassium in the blood and maintains the potassium at a normal level. Veltassa acts within the gastrointestinal tract by exchanging potassium for calcium, primarily in the colon. The potassium is then excreted from the body through the normal excretion process. Veltassa enables patients to manage chronic hyperkalemia, permitting them to stay on optimal and guideline-recommended doses of life-saving RAASi medications. Veltassa has demonstrated to enable optimized RAASi therapy use across a range of placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trials in a variety of patient profiles 2,3,11.
Veltassa是一种无钠交换钾结合剂，能够降低血液中过高的钾含量，并维持钾在正常水平。Veltassa通过在肠道内交换钾和钙的方式发挥作用，主要在结肠中。然后，钾从体内通过正常排泄过程排出。Veltassa使患者能够管理慢性高钾血症，使他们能够保持在最佳和指南推荐的救命RAASi药物剂量上。Veltassa已经通过一系列安慰剂对照的随机临床试验，在各种患者群体中证明了其可以实现经过优化的RAASi治疗使用。
As of September 2024, Veltassa has been approved in 41 countries worldwide, including in the U.S. and the EU.
截至2024年9月，Veltassa已在包括美国和欧盟在内的全球41个国家获得批准。
