On the mechanism of renal potassium wasting in renal tubular acidosis associated with the Fanconi syndrome (type 2 RTA)

Abstract

The mechanism of renal potassium wasting in renal tubular acidosis associated with the Fanconi syndrome (type 2 RTA) was investigated in 10 patients, each of whom had impaired proximal renal tubular reabsorption of bicarbonate as judged from a greater than 15-20% reduction of renal tubular bicarbonate reabsorption (THCO3-) at normal plasma bicarbonate concentrations. When the plasma bicarbonate concentration ([HCO3-]p) was experimentally increased to normal levels in three patients with a fractional potassium excretion (CK/Cin) of less than 1.0 during acidosis, CK/Cin and urinary potassium excretion (UKV/Cin) increased strikingly and concurrently with a striking increase in urinary sodium (UNaV/Cin) and bicarbonate (UHCO3-V/Cin) excretion. When [HCO3-]p was increased to normal levels in two patients with a CK/Cin of greater than 1.0 during acidosis and in whom UNaV/Cin and UHCO3-V/Cin were already markedly increased, CK/Cin did not increase further. When [HCO3-]p was decreased to subnormal levels in a patient given ammonium chloride, UKV/Cin, CK/Cin, and UHCO3-V/Cin decreased concurrently. In the six patients in whom [HCO3-]p was maintained at normal levels (oral alkali therapy) for 2 months or longer, CK/Cin was directly related to the urinary excretion rates of sodium and bicarbonate, hence was directly related to the magnitude of reduction of THCO3- at normal [HCO3-]p; CK/Cin was greater than 0.55 in all six patients and greater than 1.0 in four.

Citation information
This citation data is accumulated from CrossRef, which receives citation information from participating publishers, including this journal. Not all publishers participate in CrossRef, so this information is not comprehensive. Additionally, data may not reflect the most current citations to this article, and the data may differ from citation information available from other sources (for example, Google Scholar, Web of Science, and Scopus).
