I am a hypokalemic patient, is there a way to cure it?

What is hypokalemia.

A lower serum potassium concentration is called hypokalemia.

What causes hypokalemia.

It is more common in long-term fasting or low food, and insufficient potassium intake; Caused by excessive potassium excretion due to heavy vomiting, diarrhoea, and long-term use of diuretics such as furosemide. The clinical manifestations are mainly neurological and muscular dysfunction, the more potassium loss is faster or accompanied by increased NA and CA concentrations, the symptoms are more obvious, hypokalemia is often mixed with the symptoms of the primary disease, which is easy to delay the diagnosis and should be paid attention to. When intravenous potassium supplementation, the urine output must be more than 30ml hours, do not be too fast or excessive, and intravenous bolus is strictly prohibited.

What are the symptoms of hypokalemia.

1.Weakness of the limbs, paralysis, sluggish or absent tendon reflexes, and dyspnea in severe cases.

2.Apathy, glazed eyes, lethargy, delirium.

3.Nausea, vomiting, bloating, intestinal paralysis.

4.Heart palpitations, arrhythmias.

What tests are needed for hypokalemia.

1.Serum potassium is lower.

2.ECG shows low flat, bidirectional or inverted T-waves and U-waves.

How to**1Actively ** cause the primary disease of K deficiency, return to normal diet.

2.Potassium supplementation:

1) When supplementing potassium, oral should be taken as much as possible, and intravenous supplementation should not be taken orally.

2) Intravenous potassium chloride, bolus injection is strictly prohibited, generally add glucose solution for infusion, the concentration should not exceed 3, and the drip rate should not exceed 80 drops per minute; Do not add more than 6g-8g every 24 hours.

3) When accompanied by acidosis, potassium bicarbonate can be used instead.

4) For patients with liver impairment, potassium glutamate can be used instead.

5) When the cardiac involvement is obvious or accompanied by MG deficiency, L potassium magnesium aspartate can be used.

Quote from knowing.

It is a slippery mass that can be cured, at this time you can use the way of dietary therapy, usually you should supplement more iron, calcium, blood, you should pay attention to the reasonable combination of diet, eat more vegetables and water mold songs, be sure to drink more milk and eat more animal liver.

Yes**. When hypokalemia is slowing down Yinling**, on the one hand, it is necessary to actively ** the original disease, give potassium-rich food, and at the same time actively supplement potassium, which can be oral potassium supplementation or intravenous potassium supplementation.

If it is a patient with severe hypokalemia or cannot be taken orally, intravenous potassium supplementation should be required, and the speed of potassium supplementation should not be too fast and the concentration should not be too high.

There are many ways to treat hypokalemia, you can eat some potassium-rich foods, you can usually maintain a good mood, you can do some exercises appropriately, and then go to the hospital regularly to check your body, you should follow the doctor's instructions, so that you can have the best effect and can be cured.

Recommendation: The causes of hypokalemia can generally be divided into three categories:

1. Insufficient potassium intake, mainly seen in long-term fasting after surgery, coma, gastrointestinal obstruction and inability to eat, and long-term loss of appetite. Appetite decreases during fever, and hypokalemia may occur if food is reduced.

2. Excessive potassium loss Excessive potassium loss in the digestive tract: common in frequent vomiting, diarrhea, gastrointestinal decompression, or gastric fistula.

Renal potassium excretion: seen with long-term use of diuretics or excessive dosages.

Renal tubular acidosis.

Excessive aldosteron: secondary hyperaldosteronism caused by primary aldosteronism, Cushing's disease, liver cirrhosis, congestive heart failure, etc.

Long-term use of glucocorticoids or adrenal hyperactivity.

Osmotic diuretic ......

Excessive potassium loss: Heavy sweating can lead to potassium loss when performing heavy physical work in a hot environment. I guess in the fever is excessive sweating may have similar symptoms.

3. Intracellular transfer of potassium, seen in insulin overdose and acute alkalosis, pernicious anemia**, etc.

It is recommended to eat more bananas, oranges, seafood, animal offal, etc.

Hypokalemia is usually only a clinical manifestation, not a cause, so hypokalemia is a disease that can be **. The first thing to look at is what the cause of hypokalemia is. If the cause of hypokalemia is taking this drug for high blood pressure combined with diuretics, it is possible to change the structure of the drug, or to change another drug that lowers blood pressure, and this hypokalemia can be corrected.

Hypokalemia is often associated with this refractory hypertension, most commonly a partial tumor of epinephrine. In this case, surgery can remove the tumor, as can this hypokalemia. Of course, there is also hypokalemia that cannot be **.

For example, in the process of hypokalemia increasing potassium, hypokalemia caused by genetic mutations can only be prevented and improved by drug supplementation. This situation can't be ** either. So overall, low blood potassium is still the cause to look at.

If it can be caused, hypokalemia can be done.

Intravenous potassium must be injected at the time of potassium replacement. About 30 40 drops are injected into the vein every minute. Can't inject too fast.

If injected too quickly, the serum potassium concentration will suddenly rise and the heart will suddenly stop. Moreover, it is forbidden to inject intravenously when supplementing potassium to prevent danger, and the principle of potassium supplementation is to look at urine treasure potassium. Patients must have a urine output greater than 700 ml per day.

Intravenous potassium supplementation is safe at this time. When the patient's urine output is reduced or absent, potassium supplementation cannot be continued. Otherwise, hyperkalemia will occur, affecting the patient's life.

Patients can also adjust their diet to supplement potassium. Potassium-rich foods include bananas, cantaloupe, kiwifruit, pork, beef, and chicken in meat, which are rich in potassium, followed by mushrooms, seaweed, and yams in vegetables, which contain more potassium, and patients can eat more appropriately.

From the above, it can be seen that after sweating a lot in summer, do not drink a lot of boiled water immediately, and drink fruit juice or light salt water appropriately to prevent potassium from being too low. If the patient does not have potassium in a fluid for a long time or does not have enough potassium in the nutrient solution, potassium such as vomiting and gastrointestinal decompression disappears. Hypokalemia can be effectively relieved by phosphorus and symptomatic treatment.

Yes**, you need to pay attention to daily electrolyte supplementation and eat more potassium-containing foods. Eating more potassium-containing foods can increase the body's potassium content and prevent low blood potassium. Replenishes electrolytes to improve the ability of the stomach and intestines to absorb potassium.

Low blood potassium can be **, because it is not a very serious disease, and China's medical technology is very developed, and we must pay attention to our diet, work and rest problems, physical problems, mental problems and behavioral problems when we are in the first place. But I think the most important thing is. During the ** period, you must pay attention to your own routine and never stay up late.

Yes, to ensure adequate sleep, pay attention to the reasonable combination of dietary structure, should also go to bed early and get up early, strengthen exercise, strengthen exercise, insist on taking medications, and actively cooperate with the doctor's advice**.

OK. You must regulate your emotions, control your diet, pay attention to the combination of your diet, eat some vegetables and fruits, and exercise properly.

When hypokalemia occurs, it is generally necessary to adjust the diet, medications**, etc.**, and sometimes surgery**. There are many causes of hypokalemia, including endocrine system disorders, excessive fluid loss, various endocrine tumor effects, etc.

1. Adjust diet: If the low potassium in the body is caused by insufficient intake due to improper diet, you can eat more potassium-rich foods, such as bananas, celery, spinach, potatoes, etc., which will help replenish potassium in the body.

2. Drugs**: If hypokalemia is caused by excessive vomiting or diarrhea, resulting in excessive loss of potassium, it is necessary to supplement with drugs, such as oral potassium citrate granules or potassium chloride granules and other drugs according to the doctor's instructions, which can play a role in potassium supplementation and help improve hypokalemia. At the same time, it is necessary to ** primary disease, such as using montmorillonite powder to improve diarrhea symptoms, using Bailing capsules and other ** kidney disease.

If the potassium deficiency is more severe, intravenous potassium supplementation can be used, such as potassium chloride sodium chloride injection and potassium glutamate injection, but the concentration and speed of the infusion need to be strictly controlled, so as not to lead to excessive potassium in the body and life-threatening, intravenous potassium supplementation is prohibited when there is no urine or blood potassium is too high.

3. Surgery**: If hypokalemia is caused by Cushing's syndrome or pituitary tumor, adrenal tumor and other diseases, it is necessary to cooperate with the doctor to remove the diseased tissue through surgery, which can usually gradually restore the normal level of potassium in the body.

4. Other aspects: When hypokalemia occurs, patients are prone to arrhythmia due to electrolyte disorders, so ECG monitoring is required to understand vital signs. In addition, magnesium loss may occur at the same time as hypokalemia, which can be supplemented with drugs such as magnesium sulfate injection as prescribed.

If the patient has low blood potassium, it is recommended to go to the general internal medicine department of a regular hospital for blood routine, trace element testing and other examinations, and after understanding the condition, according to the doctor's advice, you need to follow the doctor's instructions in the process, and do not blindly use drugs, so as not to cause aggravation of the condition.
