The Role of Potassium in Elevated Blood PressureLangfordHerbert G.Clinical Nutrition Insight
Incidence rates of hyperkalemia (first blood test with a potassium level >5.0 mmol/L) in primary or hospital care were assessed in a population‐based cohort of patients with incident HF diagnoses in northern Denmark from 2000 to 2012. Risk factors and clinical outcomes were compared in patients...

Elevated creatinine levels scare many patients because they are often associated with kidney disease.Before rushing to conclusions as to the cause of the elevated level, doctors and patients should rule out any other reason why creatinine might be elevated. ...
In addition, blood glucose levels ranged from 4.0 to 20.8 mmol/L (median, 7.4 mmol/L; upper-lower quartiles, 5.6–9.7 mmol/L), blood potassium levels ranged from 2.84 to 5.36 mmol/L (mean, 3.79 mmol/L; standard deviation, 0.44 mmol/L) and blood leucocyte count ranged from 4.2 to ...
Blood pressure may change due to many factors, such as age and activity level. Learn how to monitor blood pressure with this complete blood pressure chart.
Participants were considered diabetic if they had a blood glucose level X7.0 mmol lÀ1 during fasting or X11.1 mmol lÀ1 during non-fasting or if they reported being treated for diabetes mellitus. Atrial fibrillation was diagnosed on an ECG-8300 (in 1993) and an ECG-9332 (in 1998) ...
Multivariate analysis showed that the associations remained significant after adjustment for age, sex, race, type and duration of diabetes, body mass index, blood pressure, serum potassium level, insulin dose, and treatment with other medications. These findings suggest that treatment with thiazide ...
Higher urea-to-creatinine ratio level was associated with greater rates of inpatient mortality, hospital readmission within 30-days and longer hospital length-of-stay. Despite this, there was no statistically significant association between higher urea-to-creatinine ratio and intensive care unit ...
