5/6 Nephrectomy impairs acute kaliuretic responses and predisposes to postprandial hyperkalemia
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Rats who underwent 5/6 nephrectomy demonstrate a reduced ability to excrete an acute K + load with the development of postprandial hyperkalemia. 5/6 Nephrectomy attenuates K + -induced natriuresis and impairs ENaC regulation despite intact NCC dephosphorylation and increased plasma aldosterone. This offers a potential explanation for why patients with chronic kidney disease are predisposed to postprandial hyperkalemia.
