The study patients were grouped into 3 different potassium (K) categories. Multivariate analysis was used to determine the association of potassium levels as well as 1- and 10-year all-cause mortality.ResultsA total of 3,349 patients (83%) had K mEq/L, whereas 461 patients (11%) had...
Dietary changes:Reduce sodium, opt for low-sodium choices, consume potassium-rich foods (e.g., bananas), increase fiber intake with whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, and consider the DASH diet emphasizing fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy. Physical activity:Engage in regular exercise (1...
Hyperkalaemia is one of the major electrolyte disturbances in medicine1,2. This electrolyte imbalance is prevalent in patients with cardiovascular disease or impaired kidney function3,4, and the recent use of several medications related to serum potassium (K+) levels has further increased its incide...
termed disease-associated microglia, with distinct features of elevated phagocytosis, phagolysosomal function, and lipid/cholesterol metabolism23, which shared many molecular signature markers with microglia in neurodegenerative diseases (MGnD)24. However, in our MCAO-induced stroke model, these ...
To better understand the role of the urea-to-creatinine ratio in chronic kidney disease patients, we assessed the epidemiology of the urea-to-creatinine ratio among hospitalised chronic kidney disease patients, and the association between the urea-to-creatinine ratio and inpatient clinical outcomes. ...
Chronic obstructive pul- monary disease, congenital heart disease, and severe pul- monary hypertension are the main causes of secondary polycythemia; however, data on the epidemiology of sec- ondary polycythemia are lacking [2]. Polycythemia is classified as relative or absolute. Rela- tive ...
