The objective was to determine the risks of all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, and end-stage renal disease associated with potassium levels across the range of kidney function and evaluate for consistency across cohorts in a global consortium.#We performed an individual-level ...
Awaiting these data, clinicians could use these agents in patients with moderate CKD for an appropriate clinical indication while closely monitoring kidney function and potassium levels. Use of MRAs in the advanced CKD population not on maintenance dialysis remains problematic and should be avoided. Dec...
When functioning properly, all kidney components work together to ensure the removal of toxic compounds from plasma while retaining useful components (e.g., glucose and proteins), maintaining appropriate fluid volumes, controlling the levels of ions, and regulating the function of other organs in the...
Individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at an increased risk of heart failure; conversely, kidney function decline is common in individuals with heart failure. Sodium–glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors reduce the risk of kidney disease progression and hospitalization for heart fai...
This study also revealed that co-administration of chloroquine and aspirin caused a more pronounced decrease in serum sodium and potassium levels. The results of the study suggest that acute administration of chloroquine may affect kidney function, more so when co-administered with aspirin; two drugs...
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...
acute kidney injury refers to any deterioration in kidney function that happens in less than three months.Now the kidney’s job is to regulate what’s in the blood, so they might remove waste,or make sure electrolyte levels are steady, or regulate the overall amount of water, and even make...
Serum chloride levels of the test group also reduced, whereas, that of potassium and creatinine were elevated with respect to their normal control values. However, these later changes were non-significant (p0.05). Histological changes in the kidney tissues such as necrosis of tubules, degeneration...
A multiple 24-hour urine collection study indicates that kidney function decline is related to urinary sodium and potassium excretion in patients with chronic kidney disease. Kidney Int. 2022;101(1):164-173. doi:10.1016/j.kint.2021.10.030PubMedGoogle ScholarCrossref 31. Swift SL, ...
The focus of this review will be the reciprocal relationship between potassium and the kidney: the kidney regulates potassium balance, but potassium also affects kidney function. To address this relationship, we will first review how the kidney "senses" potassium and will do so through the ...
