Introduction
Potassium: Cool electrolyte
Potassium is a favoriteelectrolyte of both medicalstudents and renal physi-ologists. It is illustrative,important and relevant inways that most other elec-trolytes are not.Potassium physiology isstraight forward and logi-cal. It is the electrolyte thatdemonstrates much of theelegance of renal physiology. Potassium follows logical and eas-ily visualized rules.In addition to being a great exercise in renal physiology it is animportant ion with severe implica-tions from disregulation: How docardiac surgeons stop the heart af-ter hooking a patient to a heart lungbypass machine? They inject it withpotassium. The heart which hasbeen beating since 14 days afterconception is stopped deadby po-tassium.Lastly, potassium disregulation iscommon, so lessons learned canbe used on a daily basis.
