THE USE of cation exchange resin for the relief of edema was first suggested by Dock¹ in 1946. Since that time, several studies have been performed on animals² and on man³ with results that were summarized by Dock⁴ in 1950. These experiences have indicated that treatment with the cation exchange resin is of real value in the control of cardiac edema and edema from other sources. However, difficulty has arisen from several sources during the administration of resin.
