Historically, the paradigm for all maladies was associated with an imbalance of the 4 humors: blood, black bile, yellow bile, and phlegm. Although our understanding of disease has evolved significantly since the time of Hippocrates, a similar cornerstone of inpatient and ambulatory care involves understanding and correcting imbalances of volume. The kidneys are the principal organs controlling extracellular volume, capable of both sensing and altering salt retention through multiple redundant pathways, including the sympathetic nervous system and the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system.

Background: Guideline-recommended hyperkalaemia management includes dietary potassium (K) restriction, bicarbonate correction, diuretics and K binders with dose reduction of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors as a last resort. The extent to which these recommendations are implemented is uncertain, as real-world data on hyperkalaemia management are limited. The Tracking Treatment Pathways in Adult Patients with Hyperkalemia (TRACK) study is a multinational, prospective, longitudinal study that is being conducted to address this knowledge gap.

Introduction: Hyponatraemia has negative effects on cognitive function and gait stability and is a risk factor for osteoporosis, falls, fractures and hospital mortality. Acute hyponatraemia can lead to neurological dysfunction due to cerebral oedema. Its rapid correction can also be fatal, leading to osmotic demyelination syndrome.

Background: Genetic variants in are associated with autosomal dominant tubulointerstitial kidney disease. SEC61A1 is a translocon in the endoplasmic reticulum membrane and variants affect biosynthesis of renin and uromodulin.
Methods: A patient is described that presented at 1 year of age with failure-to-thrive, kidney failure (glomerular filtration rate, GFR, 18 ml/min/1.
