Table 3 a and b Correlation of biochemical parameters with the physical component score, mental component score and single domains of Quality of Life: Correlation are calculated using Pearson correlation. Significant findings are highlighted. K = potassium, Mg2+ = magnesium, Ca2+ = calcium, Na+ = sodium, TTKG = transtubular potassium gradient, N = number, PSD = potassium-sparing diuretic

From: Markers of potassium homeostasis in salt losing tubulopathies- associations with hyperaldosteronism and hypomagnesemia
