APOL1-mediated kidney disease.Normally, the APOL1 gene helps make an immune system protein, but if you inherit a mutated version of the gene from both parents, you may be more at risk for kidney disease. You may be more likely to have this gene mutation if you identify as Black, Africa...

Side effects of Kerendia include hyperkalemia (high levels of potassium), hypotension (low blood pressure), and hyponatremia (low levels of sodium). Patients with adrenal insufficiency (when the body does not produce enough of certain hormones) and those receiving simultaneous treatment with strong CY...
What is a chronic kidney disease (CKD) diet? A CKD diet limits protein, phosphorus, sodium, and potassium. Liquids may also need to be limited in later stages of CKD. This diet can help slow down the rate of damage to your kidneys. Your diet may change over time as your health condit...
Electrolytes: Sodium, potassium, and chloride are often affected by the primary disease—but also by secondary factors, such as vomiting and a lack of appetite. Calcium: Elevated levels, though not as common, are often seen as the disease advances. Red blood cell count: Anemia, low red...

Conversely, low urinary potassium excretion (as a proxy for insufficient dietary intake) is increasingly recognized as a risk factor for the progression of kidney disease. Thus, there is a reciprocal relationship between potassium and the kidney: the kidney regulates potassium balance but potassium ...
A major function of the kidneys is to get rid of waste and extra fluid from your body through your pee. They also: Balance your body’sminerals, like salt andpotassium Balance your body’s fluids Make hormones that affect the way other organs work ...
