Previous findings were hypokalemia

I checked it the same as you before, and it was a little more severe. When my legs are severe, I can't stand up, and sometimes I can't use my waist. Committed it once two months ago.

Went to the hospital for a thorough check-up. The result is caused by hyperthyroidism. I didn't know I had hyperthyroidism.

The emergency doctor recommended a T3T4 test. There are also the renal tubules. can cause potassium loss.

It is recommended that you do not consult here. Hurry up and tell your family to go to a big hospital. I went to Tianjin, the Armed Police Hospital, and the People's Hospital.

Only the General Hospital can test the renal tubules. Don't consult here anymore, hurry up and go to a big hospital for a double-checkup. Only by finding out the reason can we be thorough.

I'm also a**

Go to the hospital to hang up in the department of internal medicine, nephrology, endocrinology, urology. It is advisable to hang them all up and check them thoroughly. Low blood potassium has too much of an impact on life.

I also have low blood potassium. I've been suffering from this disease, and my whole body is weak, and I don't know if I can get rid of it.

There are many causes of hypokalemia, and some of them can**.

The following points should be paid attention to to prevent hypokalemia, one is to eat more foods with high potassium content, such as lean meat, green leafy vegetables, bananas, soy products, etc. For women taking ** medicine, special attention should be paid to the rationality of the diet, and the pharmacological effects of ** drug must be clarified before taking, and it should not be taken for a long time. The second is not to stay outdoors for a long time or sweat repeatedly to prevent collapse.

Third, patients with kidney disease and hypertension should take medication under the guidance of a doctor, and should not change the dosage and combination without authorization. Fourth, when there are occasional symptoms of hypokalemia such as palpitation, weakness or convulsions, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible accompanied by your family members.

Hypokalemia is a pathophysiologic condition in which serum potassium is low.

There are two main causes of low potassium: one is insufficient intake and the other is increased loss.

Insufficient intake, long-term fasting, picky eating, anorexia, daily potassium intake less than 3g, and lasting more than two weeks. Excessive potassium excretion, mainly through the gastrointestinal tract or kidneys, loses too much potassium.

Gastrointestinal potassium loss, commonly seen in patients with prolonged massive vomiting, diarrhoea, gastrointestinal drainage, and ostomy; Renal potassium loss is mostly due to acute renal failure, renal diseases such as renal tubular acidosis, or endocrine diseases such as hyperaldosteronism, or taking furosemide, bumetanide-potassium-excreting diuretics or osmotic diuretics such as mannitol and hypertonic glucose, or acidosis or convalescence from acidosis.

The clinical manifestations of potassium-deficient hypokalemia are also multifaceted.

Skeletal manifestations: When serum potassium is generally low, patients will feel tired, weak, and fatigued; When it is lower, generalized muscle weakness, limb paralysis, tendon reflexes are weakened or disappear, and even diaphragm and ventilator paralysis, dyspnea, dysphagia, and severe cases can be suffocated.

Digestive manifestations: nausea, vomiting, anorexia, bloating, constipation, decreased or absent bowel movements, intestinal paralysis.

Central nervous system manifestations: malaise, unresponsiveness, disorientation, lethargy, or coma.

Circulatory manifestations: increased myocardial irritability in the early stage, tachycardia, hypokalemic cardiomyopathy in severe cases, myocardial necrosis, fibrosis, and death due to ventricular flutter, ventricular fibrillation, cardiac arrest or shock in more severe cases.

Because hypokalemia has so many harms, if hypokalemia is detected, it must be done by a specialist as soon as possible**.

At the same time, you can also supplement potassium through food, such as corn, soybeans, rape, celery, spinach, yams, potatoes, seaweed, kelp, and fruits such as bananas, grapes, oranges, peaches, grapefruits, cherries, watermelons, etc.

In daily life, we should also prevent the occurrence of hypokalemia, avoid picky eating, picky eating, and seek medical attention in time if there are symptoms such as anorexia, diarrhea, and vomiting.

Hypokalemia is a clinical symptom that suggests impaired electrolyte metabolism. Normal blood potassium concentrations in millimoles per liter and below millimoles per liter are called hypokalemia. When the serum potassium concentration is less than millimoles per liter, it manifests as weakness and paralysis of the limbs; If it is less than millimole per liter, in addition to muscle weakness, there can also be dyspnea, swallowing, arrhythmia, atrial or ventricular premature contraction, and in severe cases, ventricular flutter and ventricular fibrillation, resulting in cardiac arrest and sudden death.

Hypokalemia needs to be corrected when it occurs, and hypokalemia is very severe if it is less than millimoles per liter.

Hypokalemia, also known as periodic paralysis, is a condition in which the potassium ion in the blood is lower than the normal value, resulting in weakness of the limbs and paralysis.

The normal value of potassium in the general blood is usually low blood potassium is mostly caused by decreased intake or excessive excretion, for example, long-term use of potassium excretion diuretic and antihypertensive substances without attention to blood potassium replacement.

In addition, diuretic potassium excretion in order to reduce edema, and long-term abnormal diet, etc., can lead to low blood potassium. There is also primary hypokalemia.

The most severe is paralysis of the respiratory muscles, which can lead to asphyxia.

Intravenous infusion of KCL will quickly return to normal.

Low potassium is hypokalemia, which 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.

Hypokalemia refers to the serum potassium concentration lower than the normal value, which becomes hypokalemia, which leads to hypokalemia for many reasons, first of all, it may be insufficient potassium intake, such as insufficient potassium intake in the diet or because of digestive tract obstruction, coma, and not eating for a long time, then it may lead to hypokalemia, and excessive potassium excretion, such as vomiting, diarrhea, heavy sweating, and the use of diuretic drugs, may lead to excessive potassium loss and cause hypokalemia.

In addition, like potassium poisoning, there are some hereditary diseases that may also cause hypokalemia, once hypokalemia occurs, patients may show some symptoms, the symptoms and the severity of hypokalemia have a certain relationship, the more common neuromuscular system manifestations, often manifested as muscle weakness episodic paralysis, in general, at the beginning, the proximal muscle symptoms are slightly lighter than the distal muscles, unable to stand, walk, sit or squat difficult, However, in severe cases, it may cause muscle pain, spasms, arrhythmias and conduction block in the cardiovascular system, sinus tachycardia and premature contractions in mild cases, and ventricular arrhythmias and even cardiac arrest in severe cases.

That is, the blood potassium concentration is relatively low, which may be caused by acid-base balance disorders, and may also be related to the RaaS system.

The low concentration of potassium in your blood can easily cause problems in your body. Find out the cause first. Then take potassium supplementation appropriately. For example, eat more foods that are high in potassium, such as bananas.
