Abstract

Potassium depletion in rats augments the specific renal lesions of phosphate loading. Since it has been shown that phosphate loading increases the specific cardiac lesions of potassium deficiency (12), it is concluded that the similar types of electrolyte imbalance (potassium depletion-phosphate load) act conversely in the two organs.
