Abstract
Potassium homeostasis can be perturbed with both obstructive uropathy and interstitial nephritis. Hypokalemia can develop during the diuretic phase that accompanies relief of urinary tract obstruction and also been reported in association with acute interstitial nephritis. More typically, hyperkalemia is found in patients with chronic obstructive uropathy and is observed frequently in patients with Tubolointerstitial nephropathies. Both hyporeninemic hypoaldosteronism and primary defects in tubular secretion of potassium account for the development of hyperkalemia. Hyperchloremic acidosis (Type 4 RTA) frequently accompanies these hyperkalemic syndromes. Current concepts regarding the pathophysiology of both hyperkalemia and Type 4 RTA are considered.
