Association of Dyskalemias with Ischemic Stroke in Advanced Chronic Kidney Disease Patients Transitioning to Dialysis
CONCLUSION: In patients with advanced CKD, hypokalemia (chronic exposure) was associated with a higher risk of ischemic stroke, whereas hyperkalemia (acute exposure) was associated with a lower risk of ischemic stroke. Further studies in this population are needed to explore the mechanisms underlying these associations.PMID:34289468 | DOI:10.1159/000516902

Premature Stroke Secondary to Severe Hypertension Results from Liddle Syndrome Caused by a Novel SCNN1B Mutation
Conclusions:We identified a novelSCNN1B mutation (c.1849C#x3e;A) in a family affected by LS. Patients with LS, especially those with severe hypertension, should be alert for the occurrence of premature stroke. Timely diagnosis using genetic testing and tailored treatment with amiloride can help LS patients to avoid severe complications.Kidney Blood Press Res

Effect of increased potassium intake on cardiovascular risk factors and disease: systematic review and meta-analyses
Salt seems to get the most press, but potassium is an important player in the prevention of vascular disease. This systematic review of 22 RCTs and 11 cohort studies shows that systolic blood pressure was reduced by 7.16 (1.91 to 12.41) mm Hg when the potassium intake was 90-120 mmol/day, without any dose response. Furthermore, there was a 24% lower risk of stroke. The results suggest that patients without impaired renal excretion of potassium would potentially see the most benefit with respect to hypertension and stroke prevention with increased potassium intake. : Effect of lower sodium intake on health: systematic revi...

Less Sodium, More Potassium, or Both: Population-wide Strategies to Prevent Hypertension
Am J Physiol Renal Physiol. 2023 Jun 1. doi: 10.1152/ajprenal.00007.2023. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHypertension is among the most prevalent medical conditions globally and a major contributor to chronic kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, and death. Prevention through non-pharmacologic, population-level interventions is critically needed to halt this worldwide epidemic. However, there are ongoing debates as to where public policy efforts should focus. Recently the Salt Substitute and Stroke Study demonstrated the efficacy of substituting table salt with potassium salt to reduce the risk of stroke, major cardiovasc...

Urinary Potassium Excretion and Renal and Cardiovascular Complications in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes and Normal Renal Function.
CONCLUSIONS: Higher urinary potassium excretion was associated with the slower decline of renal function and the lower incidence of cardiovascular complications in type 2 diabetic patients with normal renal function. Interventional trials are necessary to determine whether increasing dietary potassium is beneficial. PMID: 26563378 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
