"There are ~60 mmoles of K+ per kg body mass: ~95% in the intracellular fluid. ~2% in the extracellular fluid. and the rest in bone. Even small shifts of K+ from the intracellular to the extracellular compartment thus may lead to large changes in the extracellular [K+] concentration, [K+]e, and vice versa for Na+." |
