• Intravenous Administration

  Twenty children with chronic renal failure never had hyperkalemia, and both renin and aldosterone were normally stimulated by intravenous administration of furosemide, whereas three patients had moderate hyperkalemia (serum potassium concentration between [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Rapid correction is possible with oral potassium; the fastest results are likely best achieved by combining oral (e.g., 20 to 40 mmol) and intravenous administration. 22 When intravenous potassium is used, standard administration is 20 to 40 mmol of potassium [aafp.org]

• Orthostatic Hypotension

  Disease relevance of Hypoaldosteronism Plasma renin activity (PRA) and aldosterone are decreased in diabetic with nephropathy and hypertension, in those with neuropathy including orthostatic hypotension, and in those with hypoaldosteronism [1]. [wikigenes.org]

• Tachycardia

  Arrhythmias associated with hypokalemia include sinus bradycardia, ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation, and torsade de pointes. 19 Although the risk of ECG changes and arrhythmias increases as serum potassium concentration decreases, these findings [aafp.org]

  Liddle's syndrome was diagnosed in a 72-year-old man who presented clinically with hypertension and muscle weakness. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Overview Hyporeninemic hypoaldosteronism: A rare condition where low levels of renin result in insufficient aldosterone being produced Symptoms - Hyporeninemic hypoaldosteronism Hyperkalemia Heart arrhythmia Muscle weakness Low plasma rennin activity [checkorphan.org]

  Except for arrhythmia and muscle weakness in severe cases, hyperkalemia produces no physical signs. Mild acidosis may be present, but associated physical signs (eg, Kussmaul respiration) usually are absent. [emedicine.medscape.com]

  Symptoms include Weight loss Muscle weakness Fatigue that gets worse over time Low blood pressure Patchy or dark skin Lab tests can confirm that you have Addison disease. If you don't treat it, it can be fatal. [icdlist.com]

  Upon further questioning, the patient's mother states he has episodes of constipation and muscle weakness. Physical examination is notable for growth failure. [medbullets.com]

[…] more practical approach is calculation of the urine potassium-to-creatinine ratio from a spot urine specimen; a ratio greater than 1.5 mEq per mmol (13 mEq per g) is indicative of renal potassium wasting. 18 If no cause is identified with the initial workup [aafp.org]

• Nephrolithiasis

  It has been shown to precipitate and result in nephrolithiasis in some patients, and therefore these individuals are instructed to increase their water intake. [renalfellow.blogspot.com]

• Thrombocytosis

  Other causes included overzealous potassium replacement, spironolactone therapy, hemolysis, acute renal failure, acidosis, thrombocytosis, and Addison's disease. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Diagnosis First, exclude pseudohyperkalemia, which is seen with difficult venipunctures and in thrombocytosis. Repeat the serum potassium determination to confirm, with a better venipuncture if possible. [emedicine.medscape.com]

  For patients with extreme leukocytosis or thrombocytosis, potassium levels should be measured in plasma samples that have been promptly separated from the cellular components since extreme elevations in either leukocytes or platelets results in leakage [rrnursingschool.biz]

• Abnormal Renal Function

  Despite only mildly abnormal renal function, serum K+ was elevated to 6.2 meq/L, and plasma renin activity (0.12 ng/mL h) and aldosterone (4.4 ng/dL) failed to respond to the combined stimuli of furosemide and posture. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
