Hypokalemia is a condition characterized by low potassium levels, crucial for intracellular functions. The Na+/K+ ATPase pump maintains the ICF/ECF gradient. Potassium excretion occurs mainly via the kidneys, with minimal variation in proximal tubule reabsorption. The collecting duct plays a vital r

Renal regulation of body fluids involves mechanisms like water diuresis and osmotic diuresis to maintain fluid balance in the body. The secretion of Anti-Diuretic Hormone (ADH) plays a crucial role in controlling water retention. ADH release is influenced by factors like blood volume, blood pressure
