Low urinary potassium excretion in hypercalciuric patients predicts hypertension (OR = 3.3, 1.5-7.4) and KSD (OR = 2.9, 1.1-7.3) in first-degree relatives.
Monitoring potassium intake may be important for assessing hypertension and KSD risk in families of hypercalciuric patients.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
In hypercalciuric patients, however, low K+ excretion predicted hypertension (OR = 3.3, 1.5-7.4) and KSD (OR = 2.9, 1.1-7.3) in first-degree relatives.
Why this rating
Based on the use of odds ratios derived from a defined patient population.
