The more complex chemistry of the hydrogen-ion concentration in intracellular and extracellular fluid compartments is beyond the scope of this article.

In addition to the long-recognized effects of aldosterone to stimulate sodium and water reabsorption by the distal nephron in exchange for potassium and hydrogen ions, and thus to play a major ...

Hypertension affects 1 in 3 adults globally and is the leading modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Aldosterone ...

A deficiency in circulating levels of aldosterone or disease affecting the collecting duct may lead to type 4 renal tubular acidosis, which results in a defect in the distal secretion of hydrogen ...

AmberLite P2X110 Ion Exchange Resin by DuPont (DD) represents a first step into the Green Hydrogen market.

Aldosterone binds to the cytosolic mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) in the distal convoluted tubules of kidneys and causes sodium retention in concert with exchange of potassium and hydrogen ions.

This drug contains calcium as its gastrointestinal exchange ion and acts in the colon, which means its onset of action is relatively prolonged. The utility of patiromer in treating hyperkalemia has ...

Potassium is normally almost completely reabsorbed in the renal proximal tubules and is secreted in the distal tubules and collecting ducts in exchange for sodium; hydrogen ions compete with potassium ...

Gitelman syndrome is a genetically precipitated disorder that causes functional kidney defects. This condition causes ...
