] it is well know that not only sodium excretion increase during a few days (particularly
if it is acute), the same as been reported for potassium excretion although to a lesser
extent. This high potassium excretion is considered to reflect cell adaptation to
hypotonicity, it is usually transient (a few days) and depends on the speed by which
SNa is decreasing [
