Hypokalemia and Pendrin Induction by Aldosterone

Hypertension, 2017
Aldosterone plays an important role in regulating Na-Cl reabsorption and blood pressure. Epithelial Na+ channel, Na+-Cl− cotransporter, and Cl−/HCO3− exchanger pendrin are the major mediators of Na-Cl transport in the aldosterone-sensitive distal nephron.

The Uncommon ECG Signature of Hypokalemia: Left Main Coronary Equivalent. [PDF]

Clin Case Rep
ABSTRACT This case highlights that severe hypokalemia can mimic the ECG findings associated with left main coronary artery disease. Early recognition and appropriate correction of electrolyte disturbances are essential in managing such presentations and avoiding misdiagnosis and unnecessary invasive procedures.

Severe hypokalemia in the emergency department: A retrospective, single‐center study

Health Science Reports, 2022
Hypokalemia is one of the most common problems in the emergency department (ED). Severe hypokalemia, defined as a serum potassium level ≤2.5 mEq/L, is a relatively uncommon electrolyte disorder, and few studies have reported its prevalence, etiology ...
