Changes in Potassium Clearance (CK+) And Plasma K+ (PK+) Levels in Normal PregnancyGülay Logoglu, Fatma T. Özgünen, Tuncay Özgünen, Ayse DoganFrom Departments of Physiology, Obstetrics and Gynecology and Central Laboratories of Çukurova University Medical School, Adana, Türkiye.
Potassium clearances and plasma K+ levels were evaluated during the I. trimester (n=11), II. trimester (n=17) and the III. trimester (n=27) of healthy pregnant women. The highest clearance values were determined in the III. trimester, and plasma K+ levels were slightly lower in the pregnant groups, but compared with non-pregnant values, no significant differences were determined in both of these parameters. Keywords: Pregnancy, potassium clearance, plasma potassium.
