Symptoma

Normokalemic Periodic Paralysis

NormoKPP

METHODS: A thorough clinical, electrophysiologic, and molecular study was performed of four unrelated families who presented with periodic paralysis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment of TPP is not well established and must be individualized to each presentation. [westjem.com]

Conclusion: Periodic paralysis can present with initial symptoms of thyrotoxicosis associated with normokalemia. [endocrine-abstracts.org]

Two pitfalls are present for the student, however. First, the abnormalities are superimposed on a changing, developing brain, not a rather static, mature organ. [books.google.com]

    An individual with sporadic hyperPP and excessive daytime sleepiness with multiple sleep-onset REM periods has been reported. Symptoms were improved by a diuretic that decreased serum potassium concentration [ Iranzo & Santamaria 1999 ]. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Eating Frequently

    frequent meals rich in carbohydrates and low in potassium and by avoiding fasting, strenuous activity, and exposure to cold. [6] Symptoms of individuals who are normokalemic during attacks may be improved by exercising. [9] Last updated: 9/12/2012 If [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]

Clinical Testing and Workup Because potassium levels may be reduced during an episode of periodic paralysis, a blood test to determine the serum potassium levels during an episode can be helpful in diagnosing the disorder in some cases. [rarediseases.org]

Prophylactic treatment with thiazide diuretics is highly effective in preventing attacks in hyperKPP. However, the efficacy and safety of such diuretics in normoKPP remain unclear. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis Most patients learn to prevent their attacks well enough that no significant deterioration in the quality of life occurs. Strenuous exercise must be avoided, however. Attacks often lessen in severity and frequency during middle age. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology. [icd10coded.com]

Evaluation of the etiology of the thyrotoxic state should also be undertaken with treatments targeting the underlying cause. Graves’ disease remains the most common precipitating cause, as was seen in our patient. [westjem.com]
