Red blood cells (RBCs) carry oxygen to tissues throughout the body, making them important to its healthy functioning. A red blood cell count estimates the volume of RBCs within an individual – if the results show a count above or below normal levels this can indicate various medical condition...
Cites the result of a study pertaining to the role of potassium depletion in causing high blood pressure. Comparison of average arterial pressure and sodium and fluid retention between men fed with normal amounts of potassium and men fed ...
The alcohol reacts with potassium dichromate to produce: chromium sulfate potassium sulfate acetic acid water The silver nitrate is a catalyst, a substance that makes a reaction go faster without participating in it. The sulfuric acid, in addition to removing the alcohol from the air, also might...

They are required for the maintenance of electrical balance in your body, transmission of nerve impulses, blood pressure control, wa...
The most important thing is to work with your doctor to find out what’s causing your high potassium and to treat any underlying conditions. Make sure you are well hydrated [38]. Dehydration can increase blood potassium. Avoid salt substitutes and packaged foods that contain them, as they usu...
Many factors can lead to high blood pressure. Your diet plays a role. Too much salt, too little potassium, and too much alcohol have all been found to raise the risk of high blood pressure. Too much stress and too little physical activity both raise the danger of developing high blood pr...
These results highlight the value of FucOB, a very specific enzyme for α-1,2-L-fucosylated substrates, and shows no activity against α-1,3, α-1,4, and α-1,6 fucosylated substrates. Lastly, we assessed the ability of FucOB to hydrolyze fucose not just from synthetic oligosaccharides...
The JNC 71 recommends that patients who have sustained hypertension be screened through routine laboratory tests, including 12-lead electrocardiogram, urinalysis, blood glucose, hematocrit, and a serum potassium, creatinine, calcium, and lipid profile. Results of these tests serve as baseline laboratory...
