Use of dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) in treating silicon excess related disorders in blood or tissue

摘要

Dimercaptosuccinic Acid (DMSA) may be used to reduce the level of silicon in blood and tissue thereby reducing blood pressure, improving kidney function, preventing or retarding the progression of chronic renal failure, treating the accumulation of silicon in advanced kidney disease, and/or preventing the onset or improving the current status of dementia and Alzheimer's Disease.
