1. Potassium Balance(1) Content and distribution
The adult body contains about 45 mmol/Kg of BW. About 98% of potassium is within the cells, [K +] i= 140~160 mmol/L. About 2% of K + is in the ECF, [K +]e = 3.5~5.5 mmol/L. 3/4 of the intracellular K+ is in muscle cells.
![Page 3: Section III.Disturbance of Potassium Balance](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062723/56813f54550346895daa15c3/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)

There are two forms of existence:
(1) free state of potassium, K+,
(2) the K combining to protein and glycogen.
Both are exchangeable.
(Na+)

(2) Function of potassium
1) Metabolism
2) Membrane potential
3) Regulation of pH
4) Osmotic pressure of ICF
![Page 5: Section III.Disturbance of Potassium Balance](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062723/56813f54550346895daa15c3/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

1) Metabolism
(a) K+ is required for the activity of some intracellular enzymes e.g. the enzyme for ATP production.
(b) K+ is involved in anabolism.
1 g of glycogen contents 0.33~0.45 mmol,
The K+ moves into cells with glucose, during the synthesis of glycogen.
1 g of protein needs 30 mmol of K+.
![Page 6: Section III.Disturbance of Potassium Balance](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062723/56813f54550346895daa15c3/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

2) Membrane potential
The ratio of the intracellular to the extracellular potassium concentration ([K+]i∕[K+]e) constitutes the cellular resting membrane potential. Minimal change of [K+]e may affect the membrane potential obviously. K+ is important for normal neuromuscular irritability.
![Page 7: Section III.Disturbance of Potassium Balance](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062723/56813f54550346895daa15c3/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

3) Regulation of pH
Exchange of K+ and H+ crossing the cell membrane is important for acid-base balance. Changes of K+ concentration will lead to the changes of pH. When K+ moves out of the cells, H+ will move into the cells as an exchange for electrical neutrality. More H+ will lead to acidosis.
![Page 8: Section III.Disturbance of Potassium Balance](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062723/56813f54550346895daa15c3/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

4) Osmotic pressure
Potassium ion is the major intracellular cation, so K+ is important in the formation of osmotic pressure in the cell. To keep the volume of ICF.

(3) Regulation of K+ balance
1) Equilibrium of K+ in ICF and ECF
2) Balance of intake and excretion
K excretion in kidney
K excretion in colon
![Page 10: Section III.Disturbance of Potassium Balance](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062723/56813f54550346895daa15c3/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

1) Equilibrium of K+ in ICF and ECF (transcellular potassium movement)
Equilibrium means to keep
[K+]i= 140~160 mmol/L;
[K+]e = 3.5~5.5 mmol/L
![Page 11: Section III.Disturbance of Potassium Balance](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062723/56813f54550346895daa15c3/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
11
Significance : After intake a bottle of orange juice (40 mmol/L of K+),
if all K+ stays in ECF, the [K+]e=4.5+2.4=6.9 mmol/L, which will lead to abnormal ECG. Abnormal ECG means the heart muscle is injured.
If all K+ is transported into ICF, the [K+]i=160+1.2=161.2 mmol/L.
Then the excessive K+ will be eliminated within several hours in the urine.

Mechanism to keep the equilibrium:
The basic mechanism to the balance is “leak and pump”.
(Integrity of cell membrane and function of Na+-K+ pump)

15
(a) Changes of pH
A decrease in pH of 0.1 units usually elevates the serum [K+] by about 0.6 mmol/L.
(alkalosis: pH ↑ 0.1, [K+] ↓ 0.6 mmol/L)
![Page 16: Section III.Disturbance of Potassium Balance](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062723/56813f54550346895daa15c3/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16
(b) Extracellular K+ concentration
A high [K+]e will stimulate the activity of Na+-K+ pump.
A low [K+]e will do in the converse way.
![Page 17: Section III.Disturbance of Potassium Balance](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062723/56813f54550346895daa15c3/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
17
(c) Total K quantity in the body
When the total quantity of K in the body reduces, the loss of intracellular K+ is more than extracellular K+, but the ratio of extracellular K+ loss is more than intracellular K+ loss.
When the total quantity of K in the body increases , the increase of intracellular K+ is more than extracellular K+, but the ratio of extracellular K+ increase is more than intracellular K+ increase.
![Page 18: Section III.Disturbance of Potassium Balance](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062723/56813f54550346895daa15c3/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
18
(d) Regulation of hormone
Insulin promotes the movement of K+ into the liver cells and skeletal muscle cells by increasing sodium-potassium ATPase activity.
The β-adrenergic agonists also elevate Na+ -K+ pump activity to enhance K+ entry.
The α-adrenergic agents enhance the K+ transport out of cells.
Epinephrine stimulates α-recepter first,then β-recepter. (K+ )
![Page 19: Section III.Disturbance of Potassium Balance](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062723/56813f54550346895daa15c3/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
19
(e) Metabolism(anabolism; catabolism)
Increased anabolism (AA protein, glucose glucogen) elevates the [K+]i.
Increased catabolism (protein AA, glucogen glucose) reduces the [K+]i.
![Page 20: Section III.Disturbance of Potassium Balance](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062723/56813f54550346895daa15c3/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
20
f) Increased smotic pressure of ECF leads to increased [K+]e.
Increased osmolality of extracellular fluid draws the water out of cells with K+.
Decreased water in the cells elevates the [K+]i. The difference [K+]i and [K+]e increases, which leads to the shift of K+ out of cells increases.
![Page 21: Section III.Disturbance of Potassium Balance](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062723/56813f54550346895daa15c3/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

(g) Exercise
Exercise can promote K shift out of cells through:(1) opening of ATP-dependent K+ channels 与电压依赖型的钾离子通道不同,也与依赖钙离子的钾离子通道不
同,, KATP 通道主要受细胞内的 ATP 浓度调节。在生理条件下细胞内ATP 浓度约为 3-4 mmol.L-1, KATP 通道基本处于关闭状态。只有当心肌细胞发生缺血缺氧,能量耗竭,胞内 ATP 浓度低于 0.2 mmol.L-1 时通道开放, K+ 外流,
游离 ATP 是 KATP 通道最强而有效的内源性阻断剂,其主要功能有:
( 1 )舒张血管,包括外周血管和冠状动脉。主要由于 KATP 激活, K+外流,细胞复极化加速,使动作电位时程缩短, Ca2+ 内流减少,血管舒张。 (2)Ca2+ 内流减少,使心肌收缩力减弱,降低心肌氧耗,产生心脏保护作用。
(2) decrease Na+ -K+ ATPase activity due to ATP depletion.
![Page 22: Section III.Disturbance of Potassium Balance](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062723/56813f54550346895daa15c3/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
(h) Integrity of cellular membrane
“Leak” indicates the moving of K+ out of the cell according to the gradient of [K+ ] between ICF and ECF, without expending ATP.
Leaking leads to the tendency to reduce the [K+]i. When the cell membrane is injured, the permeability of cell membrane to K+ is increased. More K+ move from cells into ECF.
![Page 23: Section III.Disturbance of Potassium Balance](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062723/56813f54550346895daa15c3/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
2) Balance of intake and excretion
(a) Intake: The common foods, like lean meat, milk and fruits content a lot of potassium. The average diet contains 60~100 mmol of potassium per day, which is enough for the daily body requirement. 90% of potassium in food is absorbed in small intestine.
![Page 24: Section III.Disturbance of Potassium Balance](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062723/56813f54550346895daa15c3/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
(b) Excretion
① Via kidney
About 90% or more potassium is eliminated from kidney. (12 字 )
The more K we eat, the more K is eliminated from kidneys. When the intake of potassium is decreased, the elimination from urine is decreased.
If no potassium intake, the kidneys will still secrete small amount of potassium (20~15 mmol/day). (Na+?)
![Page 25: Section III.Disturbance of Potassium Balance](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062723/56813f54550346895daa15c3/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
Potassium is freely filtered at the glomerulus. Almost all the potassium filtered is reabsorbed in proximal tubules via active transport. In loop of Henle: via Na+-K+-2Cl- contransporter. Most of the potassium in the urine is secreted from distal tubules and collecting ducts. No decrease of K+ filtration except severe reduction of GFR.
![Page 26: Section III.Disturbance of Potassium Balance](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062723/56813f54550346895daa15c3/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26
(C)Regulation of renal loss in renal distal tubules and collecting ducts,
a) aldosterone Aldosterone activates
pump (Na+ /K+ pump) in basolateral membrane, the K+ transport from peritubular interstitial fluid into renal tubular cells will increase. Aldosterone increases the permeability of lumenal membrane, the K+ transport from renal tubular cells into tubules (urine) will increase.
![Page 27: Section III.Disturbance of Potassium Balance](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062723/56813f54550346895daa15c3/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
27
b) High [K+]e
High [K+]e activates pump (Na+ /K+ pump) in basolateral membrane, the K+ transport from peritubular interstitial fluid into renal tubular cells will increase.
High [K+]e increases the permeability of lumenal membrane, the K+ transport from renal tubular cells into tubules (urine) will increase.
High [K+]e decreases the [K+] difference between renal tubular cells and peritubular interstitial fluid, then decrease the back-flow of K+ from tubule.
![Page 28: Section III.Disturbance of Potassium Balance](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062723/56813f54550346895daa15c3/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
28
c) Volume and flow rate of urine in distal tubules and collecting ducts
Increased volume and flow rate of urine in distal tubules and collecting ducts reduce the [K+], increase the difference between the [K+] in urine and in tubule cells, increase the excretion of K.
![Page 29: Section III.Disturbance of Potassium Balance](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062723/56813f54550346895daa15c3/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
29
d) Acid-base balance
In acute acidosis, increased [H+] suppresses Na+-K+-ATPase, and the excretion of K+ decreases.
In alkalosis the excretion of K+ increases.
In chronic acidosis, the dominant effect is that increased [H+] suppresses the reabsorption of water and sodium in proximal tubule cells, urine volume increases, excretion of K+ increases.
![Page 30: Section III.Disturbance of Potassium Balance](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062723/56813f54550346895daa15c3/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
30
e) Electric field
If more negative charges in tubular fluid, more K+ will be excreted.
![Page 31: Section III.Disturbance of Potassium Balance](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062723/56813f54550346895daa15c3/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
31
② Via intestinal tract K excretion in colon
10% of K is excreted through the colon. The epithelial cells are just as the principal cells in the collecting duct, and affected by aldosterone.
K+ excretion via colon will increase in renal failure.
GFR↓↓↓ GFR↓↓↓ K excretion in colon to 1/3 of intake .
![Page 32: Section III.Disturbance of Potassium Balance](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062723/56813f54550346895daa15c3/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
32
③ Via sweating
Generally speaking, the loss of K+ with sweat is neglectful (5~10 mmol/L). This kind of loss may be significant some time (in plenty of sweat).
