Background: Maintaining potassium (K) homeostasis imposes a significant metabolic burden on the kidney, requiring constant energy to support electrolyte transport and prevent K imbalance. Reduced dietary K triggers nephron remodeling and enhanced proximal tubule sodium (Na) reabsorption—adaptations requiring metabolic reprogramming. The proximal …

Introduction and Objective: Diabetic nephropathy (DN) develops in roughly 30% of diabetic patients & is the leading cause of chronic kidney disease. Characterized by irreversible deterioration of renal function, DN lacks effective therapeutic approaches for treatment. This study explores the renoprotective effects …

ABSTRACT Aim Using urinary extracellular vesicles (uEVs), we have demonstrated the functional ‘renal‐K switch’ mechanism (the WNK‐SPAK‐NCC pathway) in both healthy subjects and those with primary aldosteronism. The close relationship between blood pressure and CKD has led to the hypothesis that high …

Global Ste20p-related proline alanine-rich kinase (SPAK) deletion protects against harmful kidney effects of dietary K+ deficiency. Exposure to low K+ conditions increases SPAK phosphorylation and induces SPAK to adopt a punctate staining pattern. Macrophage-specific deletion of SPAK confers protection to low K+-induced …

Microparticle suspensions are prevalent in both natural and industrial environments, playing a crucial role in various processes. The heat transfer characteristics between particles and fluids are critical to many of these processes. This study employs the Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian finite element method to …

Background: Hypertension is a leading cause of CKD. Low potassium diet is often advised in moderate to severe CKD. Emerging data now suggest that higher dietary potassium may be beneficial in these patients, but the underlying mechanism is unclear. Using uEVs we …

Introduction The putative "renal-K switch" mechanism links dietary potassium intake with sodium retention and involves activation of the sodium chloride (NaCl) cotransporter (NCC) in the distal convoluted tubule in response to low potassium intake, and suppression in response to high potassium intake. …

The thiazide-sensitive sodium chloride cotransporter (NCC), expressed in the renal distal convoluted tubule, plays a major role in Na + , Cl - and K + homeostasis and blood pressure as exemplified by the symptoms of patients with non-functional NCC and Gitelman …

Key Points Potassium chloride intake induced a reduction in sodium-chloride cotransporter (NCC) and phosphorylated NCC in urinary extracellular vesicles from patients with primary aldosteronism during a significantly raised level of endogenous aldosterone. Low plasma potassium (secondary to aldosterone excess) may dominate in …
