Journal:
Hypokalemia is common in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients and is associated with increased cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. The management approach for such patients routinely includes spironolactone at our centre. We undertook this study to assess the efficacy of spironolactone ...
Journal:
BACKGROUND Hypokalemia has been confirmed to be a predictor of adverse cardiovascular and renal outcomes. There is a paucity of studies focusing on the potential connection between the serum K+ level and the outcome after acute ischemic stroke (AIS). This study investigated whether ...
Journal:
We describe a case of apparent mineralocorticoid excess (AME) secondary to posaconazole therapy and suggest the biochemical mechanism. Clinical and laboratory investigation confirmed 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase inhibition and withholding therapy led to a resolution of all clinical ...

The aims of this article are to review the current controversies related to the use of thiazide diuretics as first-line treatment of hypertension and to discuss the causal roles for hyperuricemia and hypokalemia on the adverse consequences of thiazide usage.
Journal: J. Am. Soc. Nephrol.. 2007 Oct;18(10):2649-52.
Magnesium deficiency is frequently associated with hypokalemia. Concomitant magnesium deficiency aggravates hypokalemia and renders it refractory to treatment by potassium. Herein is reviewed literature suggesting that magnesium deficiency exacerbates potassium wasting by increasing ...
