Basic/Clinical Science Session
Understanding Potassium Stress: Sensors, Signals, and Tubular Injury - Honoring Charles Wingo
October 25, 2024 | 02:00 PM - 04:00 PM
Location: Room 8, Convention Center
Session Description
Dietary potassium intake is linked to cardiovascular health. This session covers state-of-the-art advances in understanding tubular sensing and response to potassium imbalance, explores links between potassium deficiency and proximal tubule injury, and honors the late Dr. Charles Wingo's contributions to our understanding of potassium homeostasis.
Learning Objective(s)
- Define relationships between low potassium intake and kidney injury
- Describe new mechanisms that permit tubular sensing and response to extracellular potassium
- Explain the role of the H+, K+-ATPase in potassium homeostasis and appreciate Dr. Charles Wingo's contributions to this area of research
Learning Pathway(s)
- Fluid‚ Electrolyte‚ and Acid-Base Disorders
- Kidney Biology and Physiology
