Article Synopsis
- KS-WNK1 is a kidney-specific isoform of the WNK1 kinase primarily located in the distal convoluted tubule, but its exact function in potassium regulation is still not fully understood.
- Research showed that KS-WNK1's expression is low on a normal-potassium diet and increases during low-potassium conditions; it influences potassium excretion when dietary potassium changes dramatically.
- The study found that KS-WNK1 helps the kidney adapt to extreme potassium intake fluctuations by regulating urinary electrolyte excretion, highlighting its potential role in wildlife's potassium homeostasis.
Independent predictors of mortality for COVID-19 patients have been identified upon hospital admission; however, how they behave after hospitalization remains unknown. The aim of this study is to identify clinical and laboratory parameters from admission to discharge or death that distinguish survivors and non-survivors of COVID-19, including those with independent ability to predict mortality. In a cohort of 266 adult patients, clinical and laboratory data were analyzed from admission and throughout hospital stay until discharge or death.
