Enhanced distal absorption of potassium by magnesium-deficient rats.

The effect of acute potassium infusion on renal tubular reabsorption of potassium by magnesium-deficient and pair-fed control rats has been studied by the recollection micropuncture method. During potassium chloride infusion, the amount of potassium remaining in the distal tubule is lower in magnesium-deficient than in pair-fed rats. This could be due to a reduction in potassium secretion or to an enhancement of potassium reabsorption. The present study demonstrates enhanced renal potassium retention in the magnesium-deficient rat, and is in contrast to previous reports of renal potassium wasting in this circumstance.

Trauma and oral anticoagulants.

Patients on oral anticoagulants who present to the emergency department following trauma pose a special problem. Careful attention must be given to exclude any sites of overt or occult bleeding, particularly in the CNS, where there may be no external evidence of injury. A PT or thrombotest should be obtained as minimum laboratory workup in all cases. In specific situations, emergency reversal of anticoagulation must be undertaken.
