Why does potassium bromate considered the leading contributor in renal failure?

∙ 15y ago
Sodium bromate was ingested by hair dressers in Japan in a suicide attempt. One of the things that this caused was kidney failure. Excesses of potassium, sodium and bromate ions are all passed via the kidney. Bromate is an oxidizer, and will reduce fairly easily to bromide ion oxidizing whatever it can with pH changes. Excess potassium (whether or not with the bromate anion) is an issue for people with kidney problems. Potassium bromate is sometimes mixed in flour when bread is made. It looks like flour. Baking converts most of the bromate to bromide. If the mixing is not thorough, potassium bromide / bromate can be ingested in large quantities. So it is a "leading contributor" only because it has a known use in the human food chain.

What happens to a cell when its sodium potassium pump does not function properly?
In case the sodium-potassium pump does not function properly, high rates of sodium will remain in the cells, and potassium outside the cells, leading to a range of negative effects Just Not In Case it does not work, But when the sodium/pump function has failed to work, sodium collects inside the cell because lack of ATP(energy) and that leaves potassium hanging around.Now at this point we know that sodium is followed by water for example when you eat chips or salty food you want water.So in thus the sodium/potassium pump failing, water follows up to the sodium that are clog in the cell same as potassium,because in common sense if the sodium isn't moving the potassium isn't moving too ,because both have to be working in a cycle continuously.So once this exchange is going on,water collects inside the cell and ruptures it.It can cause high blood pressure,hypertension, and all other fun things in your respiratory system.But the cause of a pump failure in this case sodium/potassium is due to the lack of oxygen or being hypoxia inadequate oxygen.Because oxygen is needed in the begging for the gas exchange in ventilation and respiration to create energy as we know it ATP.This is just to add in more details,The first answer is not mine.
