Transtubular Potassium Gradient

The transtubular potassium gradient is an index reflecting the conservation of potassium in the cortical collecting ducts of the kidneys.

The transtubular potassium gradient equals the product of the serum osmolality and urine potassium divided by the product of the serum potassium and the urine osmolality.

Formula

QuantityVariable["TTKG", "Unitless"] == (QuantityVariable[Subscript["S", "osm"], "Osmolality"]*QuantityVariable[Subscript["U", "K"], "Molarity"])/(QuantityVariable[Subscript["S", "K"], "Molarity"]*QuantityVariable[Subscript["U", "osm"], "Osmolality"])
