How does hypokalemia lead to polyuria in primary aldosteronism?
Can you explain how hypokalemia leads to polyuria in primary aldosteronism?
Of course! In primary aldosteronism, there is excess aldosterone production, which results in the retention of sodium and excretion of potassium in the kidneys. This leads to hypokalemia, which can cause an increase in urine production and frequency, known as polyuria.
