Low potassium levels linked to water balance disorder more prevalent in women
The kidneys become resistant to the water-balance hormone vasopressin within just a few days of potassium deficiency being detected in the blood, according to a new research article published in the American Journal of Physiology-Renal Physiology. Scientists also discovered females drop blood potassium faster than males, making them more prone to develop this disorder. The research paper has been chosen as an APSselect article for May.
