Physiology of Potassium Handling. Potassium (K+) is the most abundant cation in the body. About 90% of total body potassium is intracellular and 10% is in extracellular fluid, of which less than 1% is composed of plasma.
Shifts of Na+, K+, Clâ and HCO3â between the cells and extracellular fluid of nephrectomized mammals in acute response to hypercapnia and to HCl or KCl infusion are simulated in steady state models involving just intracellular buffering and a simply defined interdependence of ionic gradients.
