2. cellular shift/increased potassium release from cells. Uncontroled DM mechanism?

A

The combination of insulin deficiency (either impaired secretion or insulin resistance) and hyperosmolality induced by hyperglycemia frequently leads to hyperkalemia even though there may be marked potassium depletion due to urinary losses caused by the osmotic diuresis.

Q

FA. causes. uptd
2. cellular shift/increased potassium release from cells. Uncontroled DM. 2 mechanisms of K movement?

A
  1. The loss of cell water raises the cell potassium concentration, thereby creating a favorable gradient for passive potassium exit through potassium channels in the cell membrane.
    2.The friction forces between solvent (water) and solute can result in potassium being carried along with water through the water pores in the cell membrane. This phenomenon of solvent drag is independent of the electrochemical gradient for potassium diffusion.
