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
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...
“An observational study published inCirculationearlier this year suggested an increased risk of myocardial infarction and heart failure in women starting at systolic blood pressures of greater than 110 mmHg,” While hormonal changes throughout a woman’s life, especially during pregnancy and menopause,...
What causes too much calcium in the kidneys? What causes too much potassium in the kidneys? What causes the kidneys to hurt? Why does high blood pressure affect the kidneys? Why is creatinine increased in diabetic nephropathy? What are the effects of the filtration in the kidneys with when ...
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. ...

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, GCS score, platelets, sodium and chloride. Patients in SAKI subgroup also had higher values for lactic acid, bilirubin, ALT ...
For participants without antihypertensive medication, other factors such as physical activity28 and dietary intake and composition8 (sodium, magnesium, calcium or potassium) may have an influential role in their BP regulation over 5 years. For participants with antihypertensive medication, no information ...

Also they report using a single-pass perfusion technique, that they observed an immediate dose-dependent secretion of water by the rat colon upon intravenous administration of CGRP and also that the net secretion of sodium, potassium, and chloride were also raised. They suggest the implications of...
