Description: An element that is in the alkali group of metals. It has an atomic symbol K, atomic number 19, and atomic weight 39.10. It is the chief cation in the intracellular fluid of muscle and other cells. Potassium ion is a strong electrolyte and it plays a significant role in the regulation of fluid volume and maintenance of the water-electrolyte balance.

Hypertension (High Blood Pressure) 06/01/1972 - "Clinical efficacy of fixed combinations of saluretic agents and potassium in sustained release form for the treatment of arterial hypertension." 11/01/1998 - "CONCLUSION: Supplementation with Whey mineral and a comparable dose of potassium similarly opposed the development of experimental genetic hypertension, an effect which was associated with improved arterial dilatory properties. " 11/01/1986 - "Potassium depletion ameliorates hypertension in spontaneously hypertensive rats." 12/01/1985 - "Three months after surgery, her hypertension had improved, serum potassium levels had increased slightly, and PRA had normalized. " 10/01/2009 - "We prospectively examined the association between the diet-dependent net acid load (also known as the estimated net endogenous acid production) and the risk of incident hypertension among 87 293 women without a history of hypertension in the Nurses' Health Study II. We also used the ratio of animal protein intake to potassium intake as an alternative evaluation of diet-dependent net acid load. " Order ALL the reference details at left...
2.	Hypokalemia 01/01/2002 - "Since potassium depletion rarely occurs as an isolated phenomenon, associated fluid and electrolyte disorders should be corrected, and the causes of potassium loss should be sought and eliminated to complete the treatment of hypokalemia." 06/01/2000 - "Our studies demonstrated that the incidence of PA is 5.4%, and also that the plasma potassium level is not always beneficial for suspecting the presence of PA, because 28% of the patients with PA show only hypokalemia. " 03/21/1985 - "We conclude that short-term potassium supplementation that ameliorates diuretic-induced hypokalemia may induce a significant fall in blood pressure." 05/04/1999 - "Potassium supplementation may be effective in reducing blood pressure in patients with hypokalemia during diuretic therapy.

" 10/01/2005 - "9-MONTH STUDY IN Tg.AC HEMIZYGOUS MICE: Groups of 15 male and 15 female Tg.AC hemizygous mice were fed diets containing 0%, 0.3%, 1%, or 3% acesulfame potassium (equivalent to average daily doses of approximately 420, 1,400, or 4,500 mg acesulfame potassium/kg body weight to males and 520, 1,700, or 5,400 mg/kg to females) for 40 weeks. " 08/01/2004 - "The recommendations from our study are that (1) particular caution is mandated in elderly patients with an LVEF <20%, (2) potassium supplementation should be discontinued, (3) changes in body weight should raise concern, and (4) a dose-adjustment of the concomitant conventional diuretic regime should be considered. " 01/01/2003 - "In this study 215 Iranian subjects including 180 males and 35 females were investigated for potassium body contents, its variations with age, weight, body build index, and slenderness, as well as the radiation dose due to 40K.
