Diethylene Triamine Pentaacetic Acide (DTPA) ni ibintu bigoye bikoreshwa cyane mu nganda zitandukanye, harimo ubuhinzi, gutunganya amazi, hamwe n’imiti.Imiterere yihariye yimiti nimiterere ituma ari ntangarugero mubikorwa byinshi.
DTPA ifite ibintu byiza bya chelating, byemerera gukora inganda zihamye hamwe na ion zicyuma nka calcium, magnesium, nicyuma.Uyu mutungo ugira uruhare rukomeye mubikorwa byubuhinzi nimboga, kuko bifasha mukurinda no gukosora ibura ryintungamubiri mubihingwa.Mugukora inganda zihamye hamwe nicyuma cyicyuma mubutaka, DTPA ituma haboneka intungamubiri zingenzi kugirango imikurire ikure.
Byongeye kandi, DTPA ikoreshwa cyane mubikorwa bya farumasi bitewe nubushobozi bwayo bwo gutobora ion ibyuma, bishobora kubangamira ituze ningaruka zibiyobyabwenge.Ikoreshwa nkumuti uhoraho mumiti itandukanye, ukemeza ubuzima bwabo nubuzima bwiza.
