钾 Potassium, K Interactions With Other Nutrients | |
钠 Sodium, Na |
High intake of sodium can lead to increased potassium excretion through urine
Sodium and potassium work together to maintain fluid balance in the body. High sodium intake can lead to increased potassium excretion through urine. Conversely, higher potassium intake can help to counteract some of the adverse effects of high sodium intake, such as high blood pressure. |
镁 Magnesium, Mg |
Low magnesium levels can lead to low potassium levels
Potassium is primarily involved in maintaining cell membrane potential and electrical excitability, and it is also crucial for muscle contractions. Magnesium can influence potassium levels. It acts as a cofactor for an enzyme that helps maintain the electrochemical gradient across cell membranes by pumping sodium out of cells and potassium into cells. It also helps to retain potassium in the cell. Low magnesium level impacts getting potassium into cells and it may also cause potassium leaking from cells. |

Deficiency Health Effects |
• 中度缺钾可能会导致血压升高,增加盐敏感性、骨骼钙流失、提高肾结石风险和心血管疾病风险(尤其是中风)。 • 严重缺钾(低钾血症hypokalemia)会导致心律不齐、肌肉无力、疲倦、以及葡萄糖不耐受 glucose intolerance 以致增加患糖尿病和心血管疾病的风险。 |
Effects if Above Upper Limit |
对于健康人(不是尿钾排泄受损患者),超过足够摄入量的过量钾会从尿液中排出,因此没有食物摄入钾的摄入量上限。 但是,如果他们的身体不能消除过多的钾,大量摄入钾补充剂可能对健康人造成急性毒性。高钾血症hyperkalemia最严重的潜在影响是心律不齐(cardiac arrhythmia)和胸痛。 |
