高血压病的发生机理迄今尚未充分阐明。目前公认钠与高血压病的发生有密切关系。但是钾对高血压病发生的影响却很少受人注意。最近研究结果提示钾摄入不足是高血压发病因素之一,高钾饮食对于高血压病的防治有重要意义。本文从内分泌角度阐述钾饮食与高血压病的关系。 一、钾与高血压病发生的关系 日本学者Sasaki等报告日本北部两个村庄的居民,虽然摄入相等的钠盐,但血压却有了明显差别,血压较低者摄入钾盐较多。流行病学研究发现:尿中钠、钾含 The pathogenesis of hypertension has not yet been fully elucidated. Currently recognized sodium and hypertension are closely related to the occurrence. However, the impact of potassium on the incidence of hypertension is rarely noticed. Recent findings suggest that inadequate intake of potassium is one of the pathogenesis of hypertension, high potassium diet for the prevention and treatment of hypertension is of great significance. This article describes the relationship between potassium diet and hypertension in terms of endocrinology. First, the relationship between potassium and hypertension Japanese scholar Sasaki and other residents reported that two villages in northern Japan, although equal intake of sodium, but there are significant differences in blood pressure, lower blood pressure intake of potassium more. Epidemiological studies found that: urine sodium, potassium
