Villous Adenoma Causing Renal Failure and Hypokalemia: 1431Bollimunta, PratyushaGanipisetti, VenuTun, Nyi NyiOfficial journal of the American College of Gastroenterology | ACG
Renal failure An acute increase in osmolality causes potassium to exit from cells. An acute cell/tissue breakdown releases potassium into extracellular space. Renal factors in potassium homeostasis Kidneys adapt to acute and chronic alterations in potassium intake. When potassium intake is chronically hig...
Hypokalemia is a common electrolyte disturbance not given as much attention as hyperkalemia. Hypokalemia has associations with cardiac disease, renal failure, malnutrition, and shock. Additional risk factors, such as hypothermia and increased blood cell production, contribute to this condition's complexity...
If concurrent metabolic alkalosis , high blood pressure, and hypervolemia → may be due to mineralocorticoid excess , renal artery stenosis , or Liddle syndrome ManagementTreat urgent complications if present: Respiratory failure Arrhythmia: increased risk occurs with: Increasing severity of hypokalemi...
Hypokalemiais most commonly iatrogenic, due to either inadequatepotassium intakeor use ofdiuretics, but it can also be caused by vomiting, diarrhea,alkalosis(which drives potassium intracellularly), or polyuric renal failure. Insulin and sympathetic system stimulation also drive potassium into cells and...
The authors submit a case-history of a patient who developed renal failure as a result of acute rhabdomyolysis induced by severe hypokalaemia in Conn's syndrome. The authors describe the diagnosis of the disease, its course and discuss the relationship of hypokalaemia, rhabdomyolysis and acute ...
Disorders in the kidney such as renal tubular acidosis leading to chronic kidney failure. Magnesium deficiency and leukemia cause hypokalemia. Use of insulin Certain metabolic states such as alkalosis which are used for shifting potassium across cells can lower the concentration of potassium measured in...

Monitor arterial HCO3 and pH Reinforce client teaching: dietary sources, medications HYPOKALEMIA: Notes NEVER give K+ IV bolus. MUST dilute. "No P = No K." If the client is not urinating, do NOT administer potassium. HYPERKALEMIA: Risk Factors Renal failure Adrenal insuff...
