2. Diabetic ketoacidosis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetic_ketoacidosis

   Potassium levels can fluctuate severely during the treatment of DKA, because insulin decreases potassium levels in the blood by redistributing it into cells via increased sodium-potassium pump activity. A large part of the shifted extracellular potassium would have been lost in urine because of osmotic diuresis.

3. Hyperkalemia - Wikipedia

   The effect of these measures tends to be short-lived, but may temporise the problem until potassium can be removed from the body. [ 37 ] Insulin (e.g. intravenous injection of 10 units of regular insulin along with 50 mL of 50% dextrose to prevent the blood sugar from dropping too low ) leads to a shift of potassium ions into cells, secondary ...

   The potassium is then excreted, so over time, even though the blood potassium levels remain high, overall stores of potassium in the body—which includes potassium inside cells—starts to run low. Patients will also have a high anion gap, which reflects a large difference in the unmeasured negative and positive ions in the serum, largely due ...

5. 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 ...

   “Potassium and potassium-rich foods have demonstrated a diuretic effect by helping the blood vessels relax,” Gillespie states. “Because tomatoes are rich in both potassium and water, they ...

7. Renal glucose reabsorption - Wikipedia

   Once in the tubule wall, the glucose and amino acids diffuse directly into the blood capillaries along a concentration gradient. This blood is flowing, so the gradient is maintained. Lastly, sodium/potassium ion active transport pumps remove sodium from the tubule wall and the sodium is put back into the blood.
