Disease relevance of potassium

• Hyper-chloraemic acidosis has been prevented by regular administration of sodium bicarbonate or kalium citrate [1].

High impact information on potassium

• The effect of 3-(4-pyridyl)-1,2,4-thiotriazolyl 5-mercaptoacetic acid kalium salt (Rumosol) and 3-(4-pyridyl)-1,2,4-thiotriazolyl 5-mercaptoacetic acid morpholinium salt (drug 2) on the concentration of Schiff base in myocardium of adult (10-12 months) and old (22-25 months) Wistar rats during immobilized stress were investigated [2].
• Also the plasma concentrations of kalium, aldosterone and renin activity returned to within their respective reference ranges [3].
• The blood pressure (carotid artery), 24 hours urinary sodium and kalium excretion, plasma levels of immunoreactive atrial natriuretic peptide (ir-ANP) and the rise in plasma ir-ANP concentrations after an acute volume expansion by homologous whole blood (10%) were evaluated after 1 week on the different diets [4].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of potassium

• Analysis of the surfaces of MAP powders acquired at different reuse cycles using scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray suggested that the existence of calcium, kalium and aluminum ions in landfill leachate might have inhibited the formation of MAP through competition with ammonium ions for phosphate ions [5].
