  2. Hypokalemic periodic paralysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypokalemic_periodic_paralysis

    Hypokalemic periodic paralysis is a condition that causes episodes of extreme muscle weakness typically beginning in childhood or adolescence. Most often, these episodes involve a temporary inability to move muscles in the arms and legs. Attacks cause severe weakness or paralysis that usually lasts from hours to days.

  3. Hypokalemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypokalemia

    Hypokalemia which is recurrent or resistant to treatment may be amenable to a potassium-sparing diuretic, such as amiloride, triamterene, spironolactone, or eplerenone. Concomitant hypomagnesemia will inhibit potassium replacement, as magnesium is a cofactor for potassium uptake.

  4. Diabetic ketoacidosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetic_ketoacidosis

    Hypokalemia (low blood potassium concentration) often follows treatment. This increases the risk of dangerous irregularities in the heart rate . Therefore, continuous observation of the heart rate is recommended, [ 6 ] [ 39 ] as well as repeated measurement of the potassium levels and addition of potassium to the intravenous fluids once levels ...

  5. Periodic paralysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_paralysis

    Treatment of the periodic paralyses may include carbonic anhydrase inhibitors (such as acetazolamide, methazolamide or dichlorphenamide), taking supplemental oral potassium chloride and a potassium-sparing diuretic (for hypos) or avoiding potassium (for hypers), thiazide diuretics to increase the amount of potassium excreted by the kidneys (for ...

  6. Pseudohyperaldosteronism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudohyperaldosteronism

    Pseudohyperaldosteronism (also pseudoaldosteronism) is a medical condition which mimics the effects of elevated aldosterone (hyperaldosteronism) by presenting with high blood pressure, low blood potassium levels (hypokalemia), metabolic alkalosis, and low levels of plasma renin activity (PRA).

  7. Gitelman syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gitelman_syndrome

    Gitelman syndrome; Other names: Primary renal tubular hypokalemic hypomagnesemia with hypocalciuria: A model of transport mechanisms in the distal convoluted tubule.Sodium chloride (NaCl) enters the cell via the apical thiazide-sensitive NCC and leaves the cell through the basolateral Cl − channel (ClC-Kb), and the Na + /K +-ATPase.

    President-elect Trump on Friday said talk that he would sell his shares in Truth Social was “untrue” and called for anyone who spread such rumors to be “immediately investigated.” “There ...

  9. Thyrotoxic periodic paralysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyrotoxic_periodic_paralysis

    Hypokalemia leads to hyperpolarization of muscle cells, making the neuromuscular junction less responsive to normal nerve impulses and leading to decreased contractility of the muscles. [ 1 ] It is not clear how the described genetic defects increase the Na + /K + -ATPase activity, but it is suspected that the enzyme becomes more active due to ...
