  2. Hyperkalemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperkalemia

    Potassium is the most abundant intracellular cation and about 98% of the body's potassium is found inside cells, with the remainder in the extracellular fluid including the blood. Membrane potential is maintained principally by the concentration gradient and membrane permeability to potassium with some contribution from the Na+/K+ pump .

  3. Electrolyte imbalance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrolyte_imbalance

    Low potassium is caused by increased excretion of potassium, decreased consumption of potassium rich foods, movement of potassium into the cells, or certain endocrine diseases. [3] Excretion is the most common cause of hypokalemia and can be caused by diuretic use, metabolic acidosis , diabetic ketoacidosis , hyperaldosteronism , and renal ...

  4. Milk-alkali syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milk-alkali_syndrome

    Milk-alkali syndrome (MAS), also referred to as calcium-alkali syndrome, is the third most common cause of elevated blood calcium levels (hypercalcemia). [2] [3] Milk-alkali syndrome is characterized by hypercalcemia, metabolic alkalosis, and acute kidney injury.

  5. Potassium phosphate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_phosphate

    Potassium phosphate is a generic term for the salts of potassium and phosphate ions including: [1] Monopotassium phosphate (KH 2 PO 4) (Molar mass approx: 136 g/mol) Dipotassium phosphate (K 2 HPO 4) (Molar mass approx: 174 g/mol) Tripotassium phosphate (K 3 PO 4) (Molar mass approx: 212.27 g/mol) As food additives, potassium phosphates have ...

  7. Alkaline phosphatase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkaline_phosphatase

    The enzyme alkaline phosphatase (ALP, alkaline phenyl phosphatase) is a phosphatase with the physiological role of dephosphorylating compounds. The enzyme is found across a multitude of organisms, prokaryotes and eukaryotes alike, with the same general function, but in different structural forms suitable to the environment they function in. Alkaline phosphatase is found in the periplasmic ...

  8. Hypophosphatemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypophosphatemia

    Hypophosphatemia is an electrolyte disorder in which there is a low level of phosphate in the blood. [1] Symptoms may include weakness, trouble breathing, and loss of appetite. [1]

  9. Hypokalemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypokalemia

    Eating potassium-rich foods may not be sufficient for correcting low potassium; potassium supplements may be recommended. Potassium contained in foods is almost entirely coupled with phosphate and is thus ineffective in correcting hypokalemia associated with hypochloremia that may occur due to vomiting, diuretic therapy, or nasogastric drainage ...
