Common Questions and Answers about What is the difference between potassium chloride and potassium gluconate

In other words the amount of elemental potassium, that could POSSIBLY be absorbed, from 1ea potassium chloride tablet which is about 52% potassium is equal 3ea potassium gluconate which are about 17% potassium each.

Every mineral has to be chelated for it to be absorbed. Some chelations are better for some people. It's hard to believe that any supplement has 90% absorption. What I do wonder about is the amount of potassium you're supplementing, and why the milk? Milk is high in calcium but deficient in magnesium. Like potassium, magnesium and calcium are electrolytes, all of which must be in proper balance for the body to function properly.

what is the difference between Potassium Chloride, Potassium Nitrate and Potassium Citrate?

Gitelman’s syndrome is a rare inherited defect in the renal tubule of the kidneys. This defect causes the kidney to waste magnesium, sodium, potassium and chloride in the urine, instead of reabsorbing it back into the bloodstream. Urine calcium levels are lower than normal, despite normal serum values. This syndrome does not cause kidney failure nor does it cause the kidneys to function abnormally. The kidneys are normal.

Hi, You don't need to avoid them- just try to be consistent! It's much harder to monitor your potassium levels and see what effect the lisinopril is having if you go on "salad binges" or something like that. Haha. Fruits and veggies are great lifestyle choices- I don't think anyone would tell you to avoid them just because of their potassium content. I'd say just stay away from potassium supplements or salt substitutes like Mrs. Dash and you will probably be ok.

Not with my wife! it's constipation.

Potassium Iodide is stocked by governments and arm forces world wide in case of nuclear fallout, as radiation cannot displace potassium iodide in the thyroid gland, and the thyroid is the first gland to die from radiation. One Baltic State disbursed this to people (if they cared) after Chernobyl and it worked.

Recently, I tried a potassium gluconate supplement. I experienced rapid and dramatic reduction in all of my symptoms. This effect has been repeatable for 2 months. If I stop the supplementation, the symptoms return within a day. Severe, chronic symptoms improved: • Asthma and respiratory issues. • Nasal congestion. • Constipation. • Headaches. • Muscle cramping, weakness and pain. • Insomnia. • Palpitations. I’ve also suffered from unexplained osteoporosis since my twenties.

Transfer was postponed till I get better. Doctor gave me Lasix 40 mg to be taken once and Neo-K (potassium chloride) 500 mg twice daily for 5 days for now. My concern is that I ate two potatoes, one banana, a cup of yogurt, and tomato, all potassium sources today.

I have had leg cramp on and off for the past three months,what is potassium hypokalemia

Yes i know that but i was talking about papers showing BB could induce hyperkalemia. also BB inhibit renin release. "Insulin stimulates the movement of potassium inside of cells. Beta blockers cause hyperkalemia b/c they inhibit the secretion of insulin. With no insulin secretion, a masked hypoglycemia and hyperkalemia occur. Therefore the antidotes for beta blocker toxicity consist of glucagon and calcium gluconate. For the hypoglycemia and hyperkalemia respectively.

My cat's initial symptom was constipation. Examination prior to teeth cleaning...basic blood work came back fine. After teeth cleaning 1/4 ib weight loss and muscle loss. Complete blood work showed potassium of 3.3 and CPK of 2707 and TSH of 4.7. No renal failure showing although my understanding is hyperthyroidism can mask renal problems. He's taking potassium gluconate 1/2 of 438mg tab twice a day for a week and 1/4 of 5mg methamazole once a day for 4 days so far.

Potassium is a chemical element and it is part of the electrolyte that should be in balance with other lytes to adequately conduct an electrical impulse that originates with the sinus node in the right atrium. The mechanism of action is not completely understood, but what is when a voltage (unit of potential for conduction) and electrolyte there will conduction and passage of electrical impluses.

That is I asked in specific for increasing sodium without increasing potassium as to which salt is the one without potassium iodide etc ..that is which is the one which has only sodium chloride and does not add potassium .. Thanx..

m wondering if you can or can not use something like Lo Salt that has potassium chloride in it along with beta blockers, and if so how much is recommended. I'm looking to substitute lo salt for some other high in potassium foods in order to cut down on my sugar content.

Sympathetic and Parasympathetic. The sympathetic comes out of the spinal column around t2, t3, t4. The parasympathetic is the vagus nerve and goes to the heart through your neck. I too have had occasion where I would swear a pinched nerve was causing heart palpitations. A friend of mine had a nerve impingement around his neck for nerves going to his arm. It caused tingling, numbness, and he couldn't control the muscles as-well (manifested as weakness).

High potassium levels can cause heart dysrrhythmias, since your heart is a big muscle, Other signs of hyperkalemia(increased potassium) are nausea vomitting, restlessness, irritability, I am looking in my book right now to make sure i can give you the most accurate information. Chloride there is not much on. that electrolyte just does not have the effects that other imbalances have. But did the doctor treat her potassium level? or do you know what it was?

the closing and relaxing of a muscle is dependent on the four mineral horseman of function, calcium (Ca), sodium (Na), magnesium (Mg), and potassium (K). Sodium constricts and potassium relaxes, with Ca and Mg initiating each phase of the action. If an individual is low in potassium, it appears that that singular event of low potassium can be sufficient to permit a cramp to occur.

t die with the first amount of leathel potassium or the second and so on is there anyone that can clear this up I would appreciate it thank you ***@****

One thing I noticed was Potassium (K) was borderline low (right at 3.5 and the lower limit is 3.5) a couple of times so I started supplementing with Potassium Gluconate and it has reduced symptoms.

Is there any relationship between thyroid disease treated with synthroid and onset of svt?

I am 61 years old, have a family history of severe heart disease, but I have a very healthy diet and have lived longer than two of my siblings (one died at 45 and the other one at 54,) and the remaining one has had a tripple bi-pass. I do have some blockage 40% in one and 20% in another artery. Something I read at the Dr. office this week is leg cramps can be the beginning stages of PAD.

I am not sure if this will be helpful to you, but I will write what is on the label. The label reads: Potassium Chloride 10% Liquid 20MEQ/15ML - Take one tablespoon by mouth daily.
