@kiliambiti@polo_kimanii I think you're not getting it Ruto alipata kama agreement ishakua signed under leadership ya Uhuru, ideally, hayuko involved na mambo ya Ebola, anyways, tutam.
What's usually wrong with Kimani Ichung'wah?
The Laikipia MP opposed the proposed Ebola facility and even raised concerns touching on colonial history. The Mombasa Woman Rep raised concerns. The Alupe MP did the same.
Then suddenly Ichung'wah is up there accusing them of "playing to the gallery."
Really?
He argues that if KDF officers serving in Congo contract Ebola, they could die if they are not brought back to Kenya.
But why can't they be quarantined and treated in Congo? Why is that not even being discussed?
What is strange is how quickly legitimate concerns are dismissed whenever they come from other leaders, only for the same concerns to become invalid once the government position changes.
A patient with renal failure must avoid excess potassium because the kidneys are the primary organs responsible for maintaining potassium balance. When kidney function declines, this regulation is impaired.
Healthy kidneys filter excess potassium from the blood and excrete it in urine. In renal failure, this function is lost, causing potassium to accumulate (a condition called hyperkalemia).
The most critical danger is to the heart. Potassium controls cardiac electrical activity; elevated levels disrupt normal conduction, leading to irregular rhythms, slowed heart rate, or cardiac arrest. This makes hyperkalemia a medical emergency.
High potassium also affects muscles and nerves, causing weakness, fatigue, or even paralysis.
Unlike healthy individuals, renal failure patients cannot tolerate normal dietary potassium because there is little to no excretion. Even on dialysis, potassium builds up between sessions since treatment is intermittent.
Therefore, renal failure patients should avoid potassium because their kidneys cannot remove it and the resulting hyperkalemia can cause fatal arrhythmias.
NB:
Common high-potassium foods to avoid or limit:
· Bananas
· Oranges and orange juice
· Potatoes (especially baked or fried)
· Tomatoes and tomato sauce
· Avocados
· Spinach and other leafy greens
· Beans (kidney, pinto, black)
· Nuts and seeds
· Dairy products (milk, yogurt)
· Salt substitutes (many contain potassium chloride)
