Questão 40

Questão
How are glucose and insulin used to treat hyperkalemia associated with acute renal failure?
Responda
  • Glucose has an osmotic effect, which attracts water and sodium, resulting in more dilute blood and a lower potassium concentration.
  • When insulin transports glucose into the cell, it also carries potassium with it.
  • Potassium attaches to receptors on the cell membrane of glucose and is carried into the cell.
  • Increasing insulin causes ketoacidosis, which causes potassium to move into the cell in exchange for hydrogen.
