  2. Water intoxication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_intoxication

    Water intoxication can be prevented if a person's intake of water does not grossly exceed their losses. Healthy kidneys can excrete approximately 800 millilitres to one litre of fluid water (0.84–1.04 quarts) per hour. [15] However, stress (from prolonged physical exertion), as well as disease states, can greatly reduce this amount. [15]

    Possible mechanisms by which high intakes of dietary potassium can decrease risk of hypertension and instances of cardiovascular disease have been proposed, but not extensively studied. [37] However, studies have found a strong inverse association between long-term adequate to high rates of potassium intake and the development of cardiovascular ...

  9. Electrolyte imbalance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrolyte_imbalance

    Electrolytes have different functions, and an important one is to carry electrical impulses between cells. [9] [10] [11] Kidneys work to keep the electrolyte concentrations in blood constant despite changes in the body. [6] [8] For example, during heavy exercise, electrolytes are lost in sweat, particularly in the form of sodium and potassium. [8]
