Urine potassium (K+,K)

Urine potassium refers to the determination of potassium concentration in urine for 24 hours. Potassium is one of the major cations in the cell. The excretion of urinary potassium is closely related to the diet and the level of potassium in the body. Urine potassium determination can reflect the condition of kidney disease. Potassium is one of the major cations in the cell. The human body adopts potassium intake in the diet, and the kidney balances according to the needs of the group. For example, it has the functions of maintaining potassium and discharging potassium, and maintaining water, electrolyte and acid-base balance. Urine potassium is higher in the evening than in the daytime, so it is necessary to collect all the urine for 24 hours in order to prepare for the level of urinary potassium. Basic Information Specialist classification: growth and development check classification: urine / kidney function test Applicable gender: whether men and women apply fasting: fasting Analysis results: Below normal: Found in Addison's disease, severe glomerulonephritis, pyelonephritis, renal cirrhosis, acute or chronic renal failure, as well as the intake of anesthetics, adrenaline, alanine, amiloride and other drugs. Normal value: Urine potassium (ion selective electrode method): 25-100mmol/24h Above normal: Found in early starvation, Cushing's syndrome, primary or secondary aldosteronism, renal hypertension, diabetic ketosis, primary kidney disease, and intake of adrenocorticotropic hormone, amphotericin B, Qingda Neomycin, penicillin. Diuretics and other drugs. negative: Positive: Tips: Do not exercise vigorously, maintain a good diet and work. The middle part of the urine is taken for inspection. Women in the menstrual period are not suitable for this examination. Normal value The ion selective electrode method is 25 to 100 mmol/24 h. (Note the specific reference value depends on each laboratory.) Clinical significance Urine potassium determination can reflect the condition of kidney disease. Increase Found in early starvation, Cushing's syndrome, primary or secondary aldosteronism, renal hypertension, diabetic ketosis, primary kidney disease, and intake of adrenocorticotropic hormone, amphotericin B, Qingda Neomycin, penicillin. Diuretics and other drugs. reduce Found in Addison's disease, severe glomerulonephritis, pyelonephritis, renal cirrhosis, acute or chronic renal failure, as well as the intake of anesthetics, adrenaline, alanine, amiloride and other drugs. Low results may be diseases: high renal failure results may be diseases: diabetic ketoacidosis precautions Before the test: prohibit strenuous exercise, maintain a good diet and work schedule, stop the licorice, raw stomach ketone, amphetamine, amphotericin B, barbital and other drugs one week before the test. Drink alcohol for 3 days before the test. At the time of examination: a part of the urine is discharged first to wash away the bacteria remaining in the urethra and the anterior urethra, and then the middle part of the urine is taken for inspection. Not suitable for the crowd: women in the menstrual period, cold patients. Inspection process The urine of the subject was collected and detected by chemical methods. Not suitable for the crowd Women in the menstrual period, cold patients. Adverse reactions and risks No.
