Increases plasma aldosterone concentration
LimitedEvidence strength: limited. Human evidence with several recorded weaknesses, or a design that tops out at limited.Findingreplicated ×2“With respect to plasma vasoactive hormones, potassium supplementation significantly increased plasma aldosterone (median [IQR], 440 [336–521] versus 237 [173–386] pmol/L; P<0.0001) corresponding to an estimated difference in median aldosterone of 85% (95% CI, 55–120) between potassium supplementation and placebo.”
