Potassium homeostasis in pregnancy.

M D Lindheimer, D A Richardson, E N Ehrlich

    The Journal of Reproductive Medicine
    |July 1, 1987
    PubMed
    Summary

    Pregnancy involves significant potassium (K) retention, with progesterone potentially preventing excessive K loss through the kidneys. This hormonal influence may worsen pre-existing K secretory issues during gestation.

    Area of Science:

    • Reproductive biology
    • Renal physiology
    • Endocrinology

    Background:

    • Potassium (K) metabolism is crucial during human gestation, with approximately 300 mEq K gained.
    • Renal K handling during pregnancy remains incompletely understood.
    • Elevated aldosterone levels typically induce kaliuresis (K excretion).
