Scientists scan for hidden potassium loss
NCT ID NCT04251780
Summary
This study aimed to understand if a hormone condition called primary hyperaldosteronism causes a hidden loss of potassium in the body's tissues. Researchers used a special, powerful MRI scanner to measure potassium and sodium in the tissues of 21 patients before and after their treatment. They compared these patients to healthy people to see if treatment could correct any imbalances found.
