Izinto okudingeka uzazi nge-potassium, isakhi esibalulekile emzimbeni

Ingabe ngezinye izikhathi uzizwa ukhathele, ungenampilo? Noma uhlala unama-muscle cramps? Nakuba sisola impilo yethu ematasa ngalezi zinto, isizathu kungaba yinto ongayicabangi. Lokho ukwehla kwamazinga e-potassium, isakhi esibalulekile emzimbeni wethu. Ngakho-ke namuhla, ake sixoxe ngokuthi iyini i-potassium, ukuthi ibaluleke kanjani emzimbeni wethu, kanye nemiphumela yokuntuleka kwayo.

Kalula nje, iyini i-potassium?

I-Potassium iyiminerali ebalulekile empilweni yethu. Uma sikhuluma iqiniso, inhliziyo yethu, izinso, nezinye izitho zomzimba zidinga le potassium ukuze zisebenze kahle. Izinso zethu zinomthwalo wemfanelo wokugcina izinga le-potassium elilinganisiwe emzimbeni wethu.

I-Potassium iyi- electrolyte . Ama-electrolyte asiza ekulawuleni izinto eziningi emizimbeni yethu, okuhlanganisa amazinga oketshezi, ukusebenza kwezinzwa nemisipha, kanye nebhalansi ye-acid-base yomzimba (pH).

Nazi ezinye zezinto eziyinhloko i-potassium ezenzayo emizimbeni yethu:

• Ukushaya kwenhliziyo yakho kugcinwa ngendlela evamile .
• Kuyasiza ukuthutha izakhamzimba emaselini nokususa imfucuza emaselini.
• Usawoti (i-sodium) ekudleni esikudlayo ulawula umthelela omubi emfuthweni wegazi wethu .

Yiziphi izinzuzo ze-potassium emzimbeni wethu?

Umuntu odla ukudla okunempilo ngokuvamile uthola inani elidingekayo le-potassium ngokwemvelo. Kodwa-ke, ochwepheshe bakholelwa ukuthi amazinga aphansi e-potassium angabangela ezinye izinkinga zempilo. Ngakho-ke, ukudla ukudla okucebile nge-potassium kunganciphisa ingozi yakho yokuthola lezi zimo.

• Umfutho wegazi ophezulu kanye nesifo sohlangothi: Kukhona ubudlelwano obuseduze kakhulu phakathi kwalokhu kokubili. Uma amazinga akho e-potassium ephansi, ikakhulukazi uma udla ukudla okunosawoti omningi, ingozi yakho yokuthola umfutho wegazi ophezulu iphakeme. Ngakho-ke, uma udla i-potassium eningi futhi ulawula usawoti, unganciphisa umfutho wegazi wakho futhi unciphise ingozi yakho yokuthola isifo sohlangothi.

• Amatshe ezinso: Uma amazinga e-potassium ephansi, i-calcium ingakhishwa emathanjeni, okuholela ekwandeni kwamazinga e-calcium emchameni. Lokhu kwandisa ingozi yokuthola amatshe ezinso abuhlungu. Ukudla ukudla okucebile nge-potassium kungasiza ekunciphiseni le ngozi.

• Amathambo abuthakathaka: Izithelo nemifino ecebile nge-potassium ingandisa ubuningi bamaminerali emathanjeni futhi ithuthukise impilo yamathambo.

• Isifo Sikashukela Sohlobo 2: Amazinga aphansi e-potassium angakhuphula amazinga kashukela egazini. Kunobufakazi bokuthi lokhu kungandisa ingozi yokumelana ne-insulin kanye nesifo sikashukela sohlobo 2, kodwa kudingeka ucwaningo olwengeziwe.

• Ukungazali: Ama-electrolyte afana ne-potassium adlala indima enkulu ekuzaleni. Kwabesilisa, ukungalingani kwama-electrolyte kunganciphisa ukunyakaza kwesidoda futhi kuholele kwezinye izinkinga zokuzala. Kwabesifazane, angathinta uketshezi oluzungeze amaqanda, awavimbele ekukhuleni kahle nasekuvundiseni.

Ukuze kuvinjelwe noma kwelashwe lezi zimo, odokotela ngezinye izikhathi batusa ukudla okuhle noma izithasiselo ze-potassium kubantu abanamazinga aphansi e-potassium.

Kuyini ukuntuleka kwe-potassium (i-Hypokalemia)?

Izinga le-potassium egazini lomuntu ophilile kufanele libe phakathi kwama-millimoles angu-3.6 no-5.2 ngelitha (3.6 kuya ku-5.2 mmol/L). Ukuntuleka kwe-potassium, noma okwaziwa ngokwezokwelapha ngokuthi i-hypokalemia, kungenzeka kakhulu kubantu aba:

• Abantu abasebenzisa imithi ethile, ikakhulukazi imithi yokukhipha isisu.
• Abantu abasebenza emisebenzini ebangela ukujuluka ngokweqile kanye nokuzikhandla ngokomzimba.
• Abasubathi bezivocavoca ezindaweni ezishisayo.
• Abantu abanezifo ezithinta ukumuncwa kokudla ohlelweni lokugaya ukudla, njengesifo sikaCrohn.
• Abantu abanezinkinga zokudla.
• Abantu ababhemayo, abasebenzisa utshwala noma izidakamizwa.
• Abantu abanokuhlanza noma uhudo oluningi.

Izimpawu ze-potassium ephansi zifaka:

• Ubuthakathaka, ukungabi nampilo
• Ukuzizwa ukhathele kakhulu (Ukukhathala)
• Ukuqaqamba kwemisipha
• Ukuqunjelwa

Sidinga i-potassium engakanani ngosuku?

Njengoba ukuntuleka kwe-potassium kungavamile kakhulu, akukho sidingo sansuku zonke esinconywayo (RDA). Kodwa-ke, kunesilinganiso esinconywayo se-potassium ukuze kulondolozwe impilo enhle. Leli nani lingatholakala ekudleni noma, uma kudingeka, ezithasiselo.

Uma uthatha isithasiselo se-potassium, qiniseka ukuthi usiphuza nengilazi yamanzi noma ijusi yezithelo. Futhi, akukho mkhawulo ocacile enanini eliphezulu le-potassium ongayithatha ngosuku. Kodwa-ke, khumbula ukuthi ukuthatha i-potassium ngemithamo ephezulu kungaba yingozi.

Yikuphi ukudla okune-potassium eningi?

Kungcono ukuthola i-potassium oyidingayo ekudleni kunokuthola izithasiselo. Izithelo nemifino eminingi kucebile nge-potassium.

• Ibhanana
• Ama-avokhado
• Amantongomane afana nama-walnuts, ama-alimondi, ama-pecans, nama-walnuts
• Izithelo ze-citrus ezifana nolamula nama-orange
• Imifino eluhlaza njengespinashi nekale
• Ubisi
• Izambane

Kodwa khumbula, ezinye izindlela zokupheka, njengokubilisa, zinganciphisa inani le-potassium ekudleni.

Ingabe kuyingozi ukuthatha izithasiselo ze-potassium?

Udinga isithasiselo se-potassium kuphela uma ungatholi i-potassium eyanele ekudleni kwakho, noma uma unesifo esibangela ukuba umzimba wakho ulahlekelwe yi-potassium eningi kakhulu. Ngaphandle kwalokho, ungathola inani olidingayo ekudleni okudlayo.

I-Potassium ingaba yingozi uma ithathwa ngemithamo ephezulu. Imiphumela emibi engaba khona ihlanganisa:

• Isisu esibuhlungu
• Ukusabela kokungezwani komzimba
• Ubuthakathaka noma ukungasebenzi kahle kwemisipha
• Ukuphazamiseka kwenhliziyo

Kufanele ugweme ukuthatha izithasiselo ze-potassium, ikakhulukazi uma unezinkinga zempilo ezifana nesifo sezinso, isifo sikashukela, isifo senhliziyo, isifo sika-Addison, noma izilonda zesisu . Futhi, uma uthatha imithi ethile yomfutho wegazi njenge -ACE inhibitors noma i-potassium-sparing diuretics, kufanele ugweme ukuthatha le mithi ngokuphelele. Qiniseka ukuthi ukhuluma nodokotela wakho ngalokhu.

Kwenzekani uma amazinga e-potassium enyuka? (I-Hyperkalemia)

Lesi simo sibizwa ngokuthi i-hyperkalemia . Lesi futhi yisimo esiyingozi njengoba amazinga e-potassium ehla. Uma unezinye zezimpawu ezilandelayo, kungaba uphawu lokweqisa i-potassium. Esimweni esinjalo, hamba ngokushesha emnyangweni wezimo eziphuthumayo (ETU) wesibhedlela.

Izimpawu ezidinga ukunakekelwa okusheshayo:

• Ubuthakathaka bemisipha noma ukukhubazeka
• Ukushaya kwenhliziyo okungajwayelekile
• Ukudideka
• Umuzwa wokuzwa ukuqaqamba
• I-Coma

Ingozi yamazinga aphezulu e-potassium iyanda uma:

• Kulabo abanesifo sezinso esingamahlalakhona
• Kulabo abanesifo sikashukela
• Kulabo abanesifo senhliziyo
• Kulabo abathatha imithi ebangela ukungalingani kwe-potassium, njengeminye imithi yokwehlisa umfutho wegazi

Ezimweni ezinjalo, ukwelashwa okunikezwa esibhedlela kuhlanganisa ukuhlanza izinso, imithi yokususa i-potassium emzimbeni, kanye nemithi yokukhipha isisu.
