Aldosterone causes the kidneys to retain sodium and fluid while excreting potassium in the urine. Therefore diseases of the adrenal gland, such as Addison's disease, that lead to decreased aldosterone secretion can decrease kidney excretion of potassium, resulting in body retention of potassium, and...
Kidneys produce ammonium to buffer and excrete acids through metabolism of glutamine. Expression of the glutamine transporter Slc38a3 (SNAT3) increases in kidney during metabolic acidosis (MA), suggesting a role during ammoniagenesis. Potassium depletion and high dietary protein intake are known to ...
When the kidneys receive low blood flow, they act as if the low flow is owing to dehydration, so they respond by releasing hormones that stimulate the body to retain sodium and water. Blood vessels fill with additional fluid, and blood pressure goes up. The narrowing in one or both renal...
Juices high in potassium.In addition to making your blood flow more easily, potassium works with your kidneys to flush sodium out of your body. Lower sodium levels can lead to lower blood pressure. Juices to try include prune, carrot, pomegranate, and orange. Make sure you choose natural ...
High potassium promotes mutual interaction between (pro)renin receptor and the local renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system in rat inner medullary collecting duct cells. Am J Physiol Cell Physiol. 2016;311:C686–95. https://doi.org/10.1152/ajpcell.00128.2016. Article PubMed PubMed Central Google ...
The most common cause of genuinely high potassium (hyperkalemia) is related to your kidneys, such as: Acute kidney failure Chronic kidney disease Other causes of hyperkalemia include: Addison's disease (adrenal insufficiency) Angiotensin II receptor blockers ...
The most obvious causative factors are pathologic changes in the heart's muscle or electrical conduction system, congenital heart defects, electrolyte imbalances (as of calcium or potassium), blood dyscrasias, and chronic pulmonary disease. Factors that could lead to changes in a patient's functional...
on potassium? Unless you’re at risk for kidney disease (which may interfere with the kidneys’ ability to balance your sodium and potassium levels) “it’s unlikely that eating a lot of high-potassium foods will have negative effects,” says Nielsen. It’s generally absorbed quite well, ...

clean) the blood. Constant high blood pressure also leads to gradual kidney damage, and adds to the effects of diabetes. Advanced kidney disease is often permanent. For this reason, it is important to identify and treat high blood pressure and diabetes early. How do you protect your kidneys?
