Implication

Single-center study reveals the urine potassium–creatinine ratio effectively diagnoses renal potassium loss in hypokalemia patients, suggesting clinical relevance.

Key Points

The (UK/UCr)/SK2 ratio is significantly elevated in patients with renal potassium loss, particularly among females.
The AUC for the (UK/UCr)/SK2 ratio reached 0.880 in males and 0.878 in females, indicating strong diagnostic capability.
Using ROC curve analysis, the (UK/UCr)/SK2 ratio outperformed other parameters in distinguishing renal potassium loss.
Regular observation of the (UK/UCr)/SK2 ratio may serve as an effective clinical indicator for renal potassium loss.
