Daily dietary potassium (K+) intake may be as large as the extracellular K+ pool. To avoid
acute hyperkalemia, rapid removal of K+ from the extracellular space is essential. This is …

Potassium homeostasis has a very high priority because of its importance for membrane
potential. Although extracellular K+ is only 2% of total body K+, our physiology was …

Transmembrane potassium (K) gradients are key determinants of membrane potential that
can modulate action potentials, control muscle contractility, and influence ion channel and …

Potassium often has a negative connotation in Nephrology as patients with chronic kidney
disease (CKD) are prone to develop hyperkalaemia. Approaches to the management of …

Membrane voltage controls the function of excitable cells and is mainly a consequence of
the ratio between the extra-and intracellular potassium concentration. Potassium …

pNCC in the kidney. 32 Physiologically, activation of NCC by low K+ conditions likely helps …

The renal circadian clock has a major influence on the function of the kidney. Aryl

leading to death such as cancer, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Healthy eating …

Potassium (K+) secretion by kidney tubule cells is central to electrolyte homeostasis in
mammals. In the K+-secreting principal cells of the distal nephron, electrogenic Na+ …
