Background Epidemiologic studies, including trials, suggest an association between
potassium intake and blood pressure (BP). However, the strength and shape of this …

Potassium disorders are common in patients with kidney disease, particularly in patients
with tubular disorders and low glomerular filtration rate. A multidisciplinary group of …

There have been significant recent advances in our understanding of the mechanisms that
maintain potassium homoeostasis and the clinical consequences of hyperkalemia. In this …

Potassium is an essential nutrient. It is the most abundant cation in intracellular fluid where it
plays a key role in maintaining cell function. The gradient of potassium across the cell …

Although the recent advancement in wearable biosensors provides continuous, noninvasive
assessment of physiologically relevant chemical markers from human sweat, several …

Electrolytes are essential for basic life functioning, such as maintaining electrical neutrality in
cells, generating and conducting action potentials in the nerves and muscles. Sodium …

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 …

Whereas the adequate intake of potassium is relatively high in healthy adults, ie, 4.7 g per
day, a dietary potassium restriction of usually less than 3 g per day is recommended in the …
