Activation1
Potassium-driven acid retention may weaken muscle potassium uptake and amplify kidney stress
Where this hypothesis actsSkeletal muscle exposed to retained acid in older humans with limited renal reserve
What is proposedRestore potassium uptake by selectively removing the acid-associated defect
With whatNot stated in the record
HowA candidate muscle-specific intervention, with independent effects on baseline transport, hormones and renal exposure quantified; no specific intervention is supplied
Possible resultPossible interruption of the secondary potassium rise and renewed suppression of renal acid disposal
