Potassium Issues:
in Hemodialysis Dialysis Chronic Kidney Disease and End Stage Renal Disease
Potassium,symbol K, is a mineral critical to cell functioning. Potassium is especially important in the functioning of the heart's conduction system. Too little or too much potassium can result in potentially deadly hear rhythm. The blood levels of potassium are primarily controlled through the kidneys. Patients with kidney failure are encouraged to monitor their diets for potassium intake and have their potassium blood levels checked regularly.
The publications below discuss the potassium in hemodialysis and kidney failure patients.
