Mechanism of urea nitrogen binding by proposed oxidized starch gastrointestinal absorbents.
AI Summary
Key Findings
Abstract
By use of 14-C label it was demonstrated that apparent binding of urea N to polyaldehyde starch was probably preceeded by hydrolysis to ammonium ion. Thus direct urea binding was not the mechanism through which ingested polyaldehyde starch might increase fecal N excretion in uremic patients.
