Intestinal toxins (adsorption)
- Molecular classification
- Other
01
Overview
Intestinal toxins (adsorption) refers to the process of binding and removing harmful substances from the gastrointestinal tract using orally administered adsorbents. These materials act locally in the gut to prevent toxin absorption into systemic circulation. Common adsorbents include activated charcoal, polymeric gels, inorganic minerals, and some biological agents like probiotic bacteria. This approach is used therapeutically for managing diarrhea, reducing toxin load in infections, and managing uremic toxins in chronic kidney disease.
