General principle

-Do not exceed 10-12 mEqL rise in PNa in first 24deg and 20 mEqL rise in PNa after 48deg

- If seizures or severe neurological abnormalities present then correct more rapidly initially

Danger of rapid correctionCentral Pontine Myelinolysis (osmotic demyelination)

middot Correct acidosis with IV NaHCO3 84(25 100ml)middot B adrenergic agonists(eg salbutamol) Shift K+ into cellmiddot 50 ml of IV 50 glucose 20 units soluble insulin every 30 min

B- Increase renal excretion of K+Diuresis with saline and furosemide

C- Potassium exchange resinbull eg sorbosteritbull They will increase faecal K+

D- DialysisPreferably K+ low Dialysate haemodialysis for patients with renal failureThe condition is considered medical emergency if ECG abnormalitiesare present

50 year old male with type 2 DM chronic kidney disease has been prescribed an ACEI (Capotopril) for HTN He presents to the ER with marked flaccid weakness of both lower limbs

Labs Serum Na 136 (135-142)Serum K 74 (35-55)Serum creatinine 20 (08-12)

HyperkalaemiaIt is plasma K+ concentration which is more than 55 mmollitre

A- Increased Potassium Intakebull Dietary excess (Banana citrus fruits)bull Intravenous load with K+ containing fluids

B- Shift of Intracellular K+ to extracellular Compartmentbull Acidosisbull Cell damage (cancer chemotherapy)bull Convulsions myositis

C- Decreased excretion of K+ by the kidneysbull Renal failure bull Mineralocorticoid deficiency

bull Drug interference as ACEI and K+ sparing diuretics

D- FactitiousHaemolysis of blood sample

Hypokalemia-Decrease intake(never alone)

Intracellualar Shift1Treatment with insulin2Alkalosis3szlig-2 stimulation

Increased Excretion1)GI2)Renal3)Hyperaldosteronism4)Diuresis5)Ampho-B6)Hypomagnesemia

Clinical Consequences of hypokalemia

Cardiac arrhythmiasMuscle weaknessRhabdomyolysisRenal dysfunctionGlucose intolerance

Hypokalemia-Treatment

Estimate of deficit is difficult ~100-200 meqfor 1 meqliter

PO therapy usually adequate

IV therapy if severesymptomatic Max conc 40meqliter Max rate 20meqhour Use in saline (not dextrose)

Case

A 58 yr old cirrhotic is admitted with worsening ascites- Meds Lasix40mg bid Lactulose- EKG Unifocal VPCrsquos prominent U waves-Admission labsNa 125 Bl glucose 87 K 22 Urea 40 creat 20

How would you treat her hypokalemia
