Abstract

Background and objectivesData on whether low or high urinary potassium excretion is associated with poor kidney outcome have been conflicting. The aim of this study was to clarify the association between urinary potassium excretion and CKD progression.Design, setting, participants, & measurementsWe investigated the relationship between lower urinary potassium excretion and CKD progression and compared three urinary potassium indices among 1821 patients from the Korean Cohort Study for Outcome in Patients with CKD. Urinary potassium excretion was determined using spot urinary potassium-to-creatinine ratio, spot urinary potassium concentration, and 24-hour urinary potassium excretion. Patients were categorized into four groups according to quartiles of each urinary potassium excretion metric. The study end point was a composite of a ≥50% decrease in eGFR from baseline values and ESKD.ResultsDuring 5326 person-years of follow-up, the primary outcome occurred in 392 (22%) patients. In a multivariable cause-specific hazard model, lower urinary potassium-to-creatinine ratio was associated with higher risk of CKD progression (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.47; 95% confidence interval, 1.01 to 2.12) comparing the lowest quartile with the highest quartile. Sensitivity analyses with other potassium metrics also showed consistent results in 855 patients who completed 24-hour urinary collections: adjusted hazard ratios comparing the lowest quartile with the highest quartile were 3.05 (95% confidence interval, 1.54 to 6.04) for 24-hour urinary potassium excretion, 1.95 (95% confidence interval, 1.05 to 3.62) for spot urinary potassium-to-creatinine ratio, and 3.79 (95% confidence interval, 1.51 to 9.51) for spot urinary potassium concentration.ConclusionsLow urinary potassium excretion is associated with progression of CKD.
