Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • 1\. Provision of written informed consent of the participant or legal representative, and informed assent from the participant (as appropriate)
  • 2\. Female or male from birth to \< 18 years of age.
  • 3\. Participants (including those receiving a stable peritoneal dialysis regimen) requiring long\-term treatment of hyperkalaemia (chronic hyperkalaemia) in the age cohort 2 years or more, and participants requiring either short\- or long\-term treatment for hyperkalaemia (acute and chronic hyperkalaemia) in the age cohort \< 2 years.
  • 4\. Participants must meet the following criteria for hyperkalaemia:
  • For participants aged 2 years or more, Local Laboratory S\-K\+ level \> 5\.0 mmol/L, for participants aged 1 month to \< 2 years, Local Laboratory S\-K\+ level \> 6\.0 mmol/L and for participants aged 0 to \< 1 month, Local Laboratory S\-K\+ level \> 6\.5 mmol/L at Screening, measured 3 to 14 days prior to first dose of SZC on CP Study Day 1\. This should also be confirmed prior to dosing on Day 1\.
  • 5\. Using digital ECG, QT interval corrected by Bazett's method (QTcB) must meet the age\-appropriate parameters at Screening:
  • a. For participants aged 0 to 3 days or less after birth: \< 450 ms
  • b. For participants aged \>3 days to \< 12 years: \< 440 ms
  • c. For participants aged 12 or more to \< 18 years: \< 450 ms (male), \< 460 ms (female)
  • All QTcB values outside the reference values specified in the protocol should be manually re\-measured and re\-calculated, and if there is a difference in measurement between the automatic and manual ECG, the manual measurement should always be considered correct.

Exclusion Criteria

  • 1\. Neonates with a gestational age \< 37 weeks at birth or a birth weight \< 2500 g.
  • 2\. Term and preterm neonates with suspected conditions predisposing them to intestinal ischaemia (eg, perinatal hypoxia or sepsis).
  • 3\. Participants with pseudohyperkalaemia caused by excessive fist clenching to enable venepuncture, by haemolysed blood specimens, or by severe leukocytosis or thrombocytosis.
  • 4\. Participants with hyperkalaemia due to soft\-tissue damage from crush injury or burns.
  • 5\. Participants with hyperkalaemia due to a secondary cause, such as dehydration, excessive use of K\+ supplements, or drug use (eg, beta\-adrenergic antagonists) and that would be more appropriately treated with other interventions (eg, fluid resuscitation, dose adjustments of medications).
  • 6\. Participants with transient iatrogenic hyperkalaemia (eg, due to treatment with tacrolimus).
  • 7\. Participants treated with lactulose, rifaximin (XIFAXAN), or other nonabsorbed antibiotics for hyperammonaemia within the last 7 days.
  • 8\. Participants treated with CPS, sodium polystyrene sulfonate (eg, KAYEXALATE), or patiromer within the last 4 days prior to first dose of study treatment.
  • 9\. Participants with a life expectancy of less than 3 months.
  • 10\. Participants who are known to have tested Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) positive.
