Abstract

In experiments on nonlinear rats, the renal functions were in- vestigated at aqueous diuresis induced by intragastric admin- istration of sodium potassium, potassium hydrocarbonate (20 mM/kg ), and potassium succinate (10 mM/kg). We have found that the load by potassium raised glomerular filtration rate and sharply increased excretion of not only K+ but also Na+ and Cl- with urine, that led to hyponatremia and hypochloremia following hyperkalemia. In addition, the intracellular con- centration of K+ increased more than extracellular one, especially after administrating КНСО3 and potassium succinate. It promoted potassium efflux from cells by concen- tration gradient, hyperpolarization of cellular membrane and vascular smooth muscle relaxation. Thus, these data explain renal mechanisms of a known protective effect of potassium at essential hypertension.
