8 Why reduce sodium and increase potassium?
As mentioned, potassium is the principal intracellular cation, where it reaches levels close to 150 mEq / L, showing a plasma concentration between 3.5 to 5 mEq / L. Therefore, the amount of K + in the extracellular liquid is from 30 to 70 m Eql / L, representing about 2% of total body potassium (mEq 2500-4500). The ratio of the potassium concentration between intra and extra cellular is 38: 1, which is maintained by the resting membrane potential and is essential for normal neuromuscular function.
The kidney is the main route to remove excess K + from food. + K The amount of filtering is 720 mmol / day, 10 to 20 times the amount of extracellular K +.
-The normal range of exchangeable sodium in healthy adults is 41 meq. / Kg, while the total body sodium is 58 meq. / Kg. Therefore, approximately 17 meq. / Kg. are not available for sharing. Furthermore, most of this is not exchangeable sodium in the crystal lattice of the Hidroxiopatita bone.
-these are some of them diabetes osteoporosis asthma.
-We refer now to the natural potassium, which we ingest daily through food. Potassium only occurs in nature as the cation (positive ion). It is the most important cation of all cells of the human and animal, and essential for cell function bodies. Foodstuffs rich in potassium include bananas, meat, apricots, kiwis, currants, potatoes, cauliflower, cabbage, fennel, spinach and celery; also fungi and nuts.
