چکیده
Giebisch, Gerhard. Renal potassium transport: mechanisms and regulation. Am. J. Physiol. 274 (Renal Physiol. 43): F817–F833, 1998.— The regulation of potassium metabolism involves mechanisms for the appropriate distribution between the intraand extracellular fluid compartments and for the excretion by the kidney. Clearance and singlenephron studies show that renal excretion is determined by regulated potassium secretion and potassium reabsorption, respectively, in principal and intercalated cells of the distal nephron. Measurement of the electrochemical driving forces acting on potassium transport across individual cell membranes and characterization of several ATPases and potassium channels provide insights into the transport and regulation of renal potassium excretion.

Renal potassium transport: mechanisms and regulation.
The regulation of potassium metabolism involves mechanisms for the appropriate distribution between the intra- and extracellular fluid compartments and for the excretion by the kidney. Clearance and single-nephron studies show that renal excretion is determined by regulated potassium secretion and potassium reabsorption, respectively, in principal and intercalated cells of the distal nephron.

متن کاملRenal Potassium Handling and Associated Inherited Tubulopathies Leading to Hypokalemia
Regulation of intracellular and extracellular potassium concentration is a fundamental process vital for cellular metabolism. Potassium intake, from the diet, is carefully balanced with excretion of potassium via the renal tract and gastrointestinal losses. Following a potassium load, extra-renal buffering of potassium occurs in peripheral tissues prior to its excretion. Thus potassium regulati...
متن کاملA Centennial Review of Sub-sonic Transport Aircraft
From Wright Brothers 1903 to present day 2003, aeronautical technology has made a profound progress. This paper demonstrates the outcome of this progress in weight, wing area, and engine thrust in three categories of transport aircraft of short to long range, regional jets, and turbo-prop commuter aircraft. Also the paper includes those aircraft with distinct jump in aeronautical technology. Fe...
متن کاملRenal Tubular Sodium Transporters and Genetic Basis of Hypertension
Renal regulation of total body sodium (Na) plays an important role in volume-dependent blood pressure control through different molecular mechanisms. Gain of renal tubular Na transporter function in different segments is primarily responsible for essential and monogenic forms of hypertension. In this review, we summarize the physiological regulation of the major renal tubular Na transporters an...
متن کاملIndependent regulation of Na+ and K+ balance by the kidney.
The understanding of the independent regulation of sodium and potassium by the kidney has remained elusive. Recent evidence now points to dissimilar regulatory mechanisms in ion handling, dependent on the presence of either aldosterone alone or angiotensin II with aldosterone among other factors. This review summarizes past and present information in an attempt to reconcile the current concepts...
