Department of Clinical Medicine and Surgery, ESH Excellence Center of Hypertension, "Federico II" University of Naples Medical School, Via S. Pansini, 5, 80131, Naples, Italy.
Introduction: A strong and well-known association exists between salt consumption, potassium intake, and cardiovascular diseases. MINISAL-SIIA results showed high salt and low potassium consumption in Italian hypertensive patients. In addition, a recent Italian survey showed that the degree of knowledge and behaviour about salt was directly interrelated, suggesting a key role of the educational approach.

December 2025
Department of Cardiology, Beijing Anzhen Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China.
Objectives: We aimed to: (1) explore the effect of oral potassium supplementation on urinary potassium excretion, and (2) evaluate the value of urinary potassium-related indicators in distinguishing primary aldosteronism (PA) from non-PA patients.
Design And Methods: A prospective study of 20 patients with hypertension and hypokalemia caused by renal potassium loss between November 2023 and April 2024 was conducted. Demographic features, 24-hour urine collection before and after potassium supplementation were all collected.
Combination Oxylanthanum Carbonate and Tenapanor Lowers Urinary Phosphate Excretion in Rats.

January 2025
Unicycive Therapeutics, Los Altos, CA, United States.
Background: This study evaluated the combined effects of oxylanthanum carbonate (OLC), an investigational phosphate binder, and tenapanor, an approved sodium/hydrogen exchanger 3 (NHE3) inhibitor that reduces paracellular phosphate absorption, on urinary phosphate excretion in rats on a high phosphorus diet.
Methods: Sixty-four male Sprague Dawley rats were randomized into eight groups: vehicle; tenapanor (0.15 mg/kg) only; OLC (0.
The pathophysiology of dystonia in Wilson disease (WD) is complex and poorly understood. Copper accumulation in the basal ganglia, disrupts dopaminergic pathways, contributing to dystonia's development via neurotransmitter imbalance. Despite advances in diagnosis and management, WD with dystonia remains a challenging condition to treat.

Orphanet J Rare Dis
January 2025
Internal Medicine IV, Department of Gastroenterology, University Hospital Heidelberg, INF 410, Heidelberg, 69120, Germany.
Background & Aim: Twenty-four-hour urinary copper excretion (24 h-UCE) is the standard diagnostic tool for dose adjustments in maintenance therapy in Wilson disease (WD) patients. Guidelines lack data if both variants of 24 h-UCE measurement (with or without 48 h of treatment interruption) are equally interpretable.
Methods: Eighty-four patients with a confirmed diagnosis of WD treated with chelators (50% of patients with D-Penicillamine and 50% with trientine) and with pairwise 24-h-UCE values on-therapy and off-therapy were included in the analysis.
