As promised, pt 2 in Potassium #Tweetorial series. This time, Aldosterone and Potassium Homeostasis
Another large physiology topic, so I’ll be brief and stick to highlights from reading #BurtonRose textbook, which I highly recommend for all levels of learner

Aldo is well known to provide Internal Balance of K after oral intake or fluctuation in [K]
Aldo works by augmenting K secretion in principal cells. After K load, Aldo is directly enhanced and contributes to kaliuresis via changes in Na and K channels and Na-K-ATPase activity

The initial step is ⬆️ luminal Na permeability which in turn ➡️ enhancing K secretion.
Poll: Why does increased distal Na delivery aid in Kaliuresis?
