A considerable body of evidence suggests a reciprocal relationship between the urinary excretion rate of potassium and urinary pH1. In addition, attention has also been drawn to a reciprocal relationship between potassium and ammonium excretion2,3. The relationship between the excretion rate of urinary buffers, mainly phosphate, and potassium, is less well defined. In order to evaluate this aspect of renal tubular acidification, micropuncture studies were carried out in which the effects of acute potassium loading upon phosphate transport were investigated. |
