| Title |
Diagnostic value of fractional excretion of urine potassium |
| Description |
Primary aldosteronism (PA) is a common form of secondary hypertension. PA usually manifests low potassium levels in the blood. We hypothesized that the fractional excretion of potassium (FEK) is valuable in the diagnosis of PA. A total of 155 hypertension patients were included in this cross-sectional study. Of which, 62 patients suffered from PA. We collected the serum, 24-hr urine samples and the spot urine samples to evaluate the diagnostic value of the spot and 24-hr FEK in the diagnosis of PA and renal potassium loss in comparison with other indices. |
