Potassium Disorders

Normal Potassium Balance 100 mEq K+ RBC ~250 Extracellular fluid 65 mEq Muscle ~2500 Liver ~250 Bone ~500 90-95 mEq 5-10 mEq

Extra-renal K+ Homeostasis: Shift/Redistribution 4 major factors: - Hormones Acid base status Plasma tonicity Plasma [K+]

Mineralocorticoids (Aldosterone):- Produced by Zonae Glomerulosa of the Adrenal cortex :- Release stimulated by:- Activation of Renin/Angiotensin system:- Volume sensors, JGA etc. Direct effect of K+ on adrenal. Effects of Aldosterone:- Exchange of Na+ for K+ or H+ with net loss of K+ and gain of sodium.

Mineralocorticoids (Aldosterone):- Sites of action: Distal renal tubule Colon Sweat Glands In renal failure, the colon is an important site for K+ regulation Cortisol has mineralocorticoid activity

Acid/Base Metabolic Acidosis  [K+]: - Metabolic Alkalosis  [K+] Inhibition of renal tubular K+ secretion Shift of K+ from ICF to ECF Metabolic Alkalosis  [K+]

ECF [K+] depends upon: Output Intake Redistribution: ECF and ICF Hormones Acid base status Plasma tonicity Plasma [K+] Output Kidney Sweat glands Gut (colon) Intake

Renal Handling of K+ 600 mmol/day K+ Filtered Glomerulus Renal artery Proximal Tubule (60-70%) Ascending Loop of Henle (20-30%) Distal tubule: 10% remaining 100% K+ Reabsorbed Renal Handling of K+ 600 mmol/day K+ Filtered Distal Tubule = Fine tuning. Aldosterone K+/H+ for Na+ Glomerulus 90% of K+ reasbsorbed by the time filtrate has reached the 1stt part of the distal tubule Osmotic load (mannitol, diabetes) can reduce uptake and overwhelm distal tubule fine tuning 10% is a constant at the beginning of the distal tubule, but there may be a 200 fold difference in the final urinary potassium concentration Renal artery 100 mmol/day K+ excreted (10-20%)

K+ K+ Principal Cells Tubular Lumen Peritubular Capillary -50 mV Na+ 100mmol/L Na+ K+ <5.0 mmol/L Aldosterone Sensitive Sensitive to  K+ Aldosterone,  pH K+ Cl- K+ K+ secretion rises linearly as blood concentrations reach 6 mmol/L afterr this it begins to plateaux. Increased urinary output after this is mediated by aldosterone and increased delivery of sodium and water to the distal tubule Na/K ATPase -50 mV Na+ 3 Na+ for 2 K+

Factors favouring K+ secretion Increased Na+ reabsorption Exchange Increased intra-cellular K+ Concentration gradient Decreased H+ secretion. Aldosterone Electrochemical gradient.

Increased fluid delivery to lumen causes increased K+ excretion: - Wash out. diuretics poorly absorbed anions osmotic diuresis

Electrochemical Gradient: - Distal tubule actively secretes H+ K+ and H+ are neutralising the same electrical gradient Acidosis Causing Hyper-kalaemia

Etiology of Hyperkalemia Increased intake Movement from cells into extracellular fluid Decreased urinary excretion Combinations of above

Movement from cells into ECF Pseudohyperkalemia Movement of K+ out of cells during or after blood drawing Hemolysis Fist clenching (local exercise effect) Marked leukocytosis Metabolic acidosis – non organic acids Insulin deficiency Hyperosmolality Beta blockade

Movement from cells into extracellular fluid Tissue catabolism Trauma Cytotoxic agents (TLS) Severe hypothermia Severe exercise Digitalis overdose Hyperkalemic periodic paralysis Post cardiac surgery Succinylcholine

Hypoaldosteronism Decreased activity of renin-angiotensin system Hyporeninemic hypoaldosteronism (T4 RTA) NSAIDS, ACE-I, CSA Primary decrease in adrenal synthesis Adrenal insufficiency, CAH, heparin Aldosterone resistance K+sparing diuretics, trimethoprim, CSA pseudohypoaldosteronism

Hyperkalaemia Factitious Increased input Altered distribution Improper collection Haematological disorders Increased input Oral IV therapy Altered distribution Acidemia insulin deficiency Crush Injury or haemolysis Reduced excretion Renal Failure Mineralocorticoid deficiency (Addison's) Tubular defects Drugs Potassium sparing diuretics (spiranolactone) Inappropriate use of K supplements with above Factious: - EDTA Hemolyis Thrombocytosis Leukocytosis

Hyperkalaemia Most usual causes Consequences of Hyperkalaemia Decreased renal function Redistribution secondary to acidosis Consequences of Hyperkalaemia Neuromuscular - Weakness, parasthesia, paralysis Gastrointestinal - Nausea, vomiting, pain, ileus Cardiovascular - Conduction defects, arrhythmias, Cardiac arrest

S&S of Hyperkalemia Muscle weakness – decr magnitude of resting MP Cardiac toxicity Enhanced by : Hypocalcemia Acidemia Hypomagnesemia Rapid onset

Treatment of Acute Hyperkalemia Assess urgency Stabilize myocardium: Ca-Gluconate Redistribute K+ from ECF to ICF: Insulin/D50, Albuterol (high dose), NaHCO3. Remove K+ from body: kayexalate,diuretics, and dialysis

Treatment of chronic hyperkalemia Limit intake! 2 g/day OTC that contain K+ Avoid drugs that induce (NSAIDs!) Increase K excretion Diuretics, avoid constipation, +/- kayexalate

Etiology of Hypokalemia 1) Decreased net intake 2) Increased entry into cells 3) Increased GI losses 4) Increased urinary losses 5) Increased sweat losses 6) Other losses (dialysis)

Decreased net intake Normal 100 mEq/d (40-120) Renal excretion as low as 5–20 mEq/d Thus, decreased intake rare cause, but increases susceptibility to hypokalemia Clay ingestion can bind dietary K+ in the gut reducing absorption.

Increased Entry into Cells Elevated extracellular pH H+ released from cellular buffers Increased availability of insulin Elevated beta-adrenergic activity

Increased Entry into Cells Periodic paralysis: Familial, autosomal dominant, onset up to 30 yo, severe. Acquired with thyrotoxicosis (Asian men) Episodes precipitated by: Rest post-exercise Carbohydrate meal Stress, cold Administration of insulin or epinephrine Sudden movement of K+ into cells, acute decrease in [K+] Plasma [K+] is normal between attacks

Increased GI losses Vomiting Diarrhea Intestinal fistulas Tube drainage Loss of colonic secretions Villous adenoma Laxative abuse

Increased urinary losses Diuretics Increased flow to K+ secretory sites Enhanced secretion of aldosterone Bartter’s or Gitelman’s Syndrome Mineralocorticoid excess. Reabsorption of Na+ in presence of nonreabsorbable anion. RTAs.

Consequences of Hypokalaemia Skeletal muscle - Weakness, paralysis Gastrointestinal - Paralytic Ileus Kidney - Impaired concentrating ability, Tubular defects Cardiac - Conduction defects, arrhythmias, Digoxin toxicity

Hypokalemia and Hypertension Urine K+ excretion > 30mEq/d < 25 mEq/d GI losses Prior diuretic Rx Plasma renin activity Low High or normal Plasma aldosterone High Low Continued diuretic use Renovascular HTN Malignant HTN Renin-secreting tumor Cushing’s Syndrome Primary Hyperaldosteronism Licorice Liddle’s SAME Other Mineralo- corticoid Adrenal vein aldo +/- CT Adenoma: Do surgery Hyperplasia: K+ sparing diuretic

Role of cortisol Cortisol binds to mineralocorticoid receptor with equal avidity to aldosterone Conversion to cortisone by 11-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase prevents mineralocorticoid activity Cortisol acts as mineralocorticoid with: Excess cortisol production: Cushing’s Impairment of 11- : real licorice, syndrome of AME

Work-up of hypokalemia H&P Diarrhea Vomiting Diuretics Periodic paralysis Offending drugs Acid-base balance Urine potassium >25-30 meq/ indicates renal losses < 15 meq/L on spot usually rules out urine losses

Hypokalaemia: Treatment Not urgent UNLESS complications Oral is preferable to IV therapy Deficits: K = 3 mmol/L ~ 300 mmol K = 2 mmol/L ~ 600 mmol Oral treatment Normal intake + 60 mmol/day Slow K …. 8 mmol. I.V. treatment 10 mmol/hr Maximum!
