Insulin transports potassium from the
blood to the cell along with glucose.
Insulin contributes to the regulation of
plasma potassium levels by stimulating the
Na+, K+- ATPase pump, thereby promoting
1. How is insulin the movement of potassium into liver and
used to treat muscle cells simultaneously with glucose
hyperkalemia? transport after eating. The intracellular
movement of potassium prevents an acute
hyperkalemia related to food intake.
Insulin also can be used to treat
hyperkalemia.

• Inadequate intake of free water
associated with total body sodium
depletion.
• Excessive losses of water from the
urinary tract that leads to a combination of
sodium and free water losses.
• Water losses associated with extreme
sweating.
• Severe watery diarrhea
