Estimating Total Exchangeable Potassium
Specialty: | Endocrinology Clinical Laboratory |
Objective: | |

Description: | A person's total exchangeable potassium can be used to evaluate a person's nutritional status. The total exchangeable potassium can be measured directly using isotope dilution with potassium-42. This is expensive and difficult to do, making indirect measurement more practical for clinical practice. |
