A long-term taking of potassium preparations has caused hyperkalemia in the patient. This condition results in the following changes in secretion:
- A. Decreased vasopressin secretion
- B. Increased aldosterone secretion
- C. Increased vasopressin secretion
- D. Decreased aldosterone secretion
- E. Decreased renin secretion
Hint
Think about which adrenal cortex zone senses plasma potassium directly and what its hormone then does to potassium excretion in the distal nephron.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
