Elevated Admission Potassium Levels and 1-Year and 10-Year Mortality Among Patients With Heart FailureHyperkalemiaHeart failureAll-cause mortalityShort-term and long-term outcomesBackground: Limited, contradictory data exist regarding the effect of hyperkalemia on both short- and long-term all-cause ...
The clinical significance of elevated baseline serum potassium (K+) levels in hospitalised patients is rarely described. Hence, we performed a retrospective study assessing the significance of elevated K+levels in a one-year admission cohort. Adult patients without hypokalaemia or end-stage renal dis...
Noun1.hyperkalemia- higher than normal levels of potassium in the circulating blood; associated with kidney failure or sometimes with the use of diuretic drugs symptom- (medicine) any sensation or change in bodily function that is experienced by a patient and is associated with a particular disease...
Cyclosporine can also cause elevated creatinine levels.Cyclosporine is an immunosuppressant that is given to prevent rejection of transplanted organs or to lower urine protein. In some instances, it is given to treat autoimmune disorders. The September 1987 issue of the "European Journal of Pharmacolog...
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. ...
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. ...
heart disease, congestive heart failure, diabetes mellitus, liver disease and CKD but a lower proportion of comorbid hypertension. Patients in the SAKI subgroup had higher values for heart rate, respiratory rate, SOFA score, SAPS II score, WBC and potassium but lower values for MAP, temperature,...

Urinary excretion of (a) chloride, (b) potassium and (c) sodium were measured in adenine-treated Gunn (GA; black bars) and Wistar rats (WA; white bars; n = 1 2 per group) at day − 10, 0, 14 and 28. Data are expressed as mean ± s tandard deviation. *P...
Serum concentration of apolipoprotein B (Apo B) is causally associated with arteriosclerosis cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk. Whether ATP-sensitive potassium channels (KATP) variants predict the risk of increased Apo B concentration (≥ 80
