Abstract

The capacity of the colon for potassium (K+) secretion increases in end-stage renal disease (ESRD), to the extent that it makes a substantial contribution to K+ homeostasis. This colonic K+ adaptive response may reflect enhanced active K+ secretion, and be associated with an increase in apical membr...
