Normal Potassium level in blood is 3.5 - 5 mEq/L.
Loop and thiazide diuretics increase sodium delivery to the distal segment of the distal tubules and stimulate aldosterone - sensitive sodium pump to increase sodium reabsorption in exchange for pottacium and hydrogen ion.which are lossed through the urine and results in hypokalemia.
potacium homeostasis mainly depends on renal potacium excreation.However skeletal muscles also play an important role because which contains large amount of potacium in the body. moreover due to the large number of Na+/K+ ATP ase(Na+/K+ pumps) and K+ channels, skeletal muscles pocess a huge capacity for K+ exchange.Potacium from plasma shifted to the stores and results in hypokalemia,which lead toarrythmias and sudden cardiac death.

Now that you know how hypokalemia can cause your patient's
muscle weakness, you have to figure out what is causing his
hypokalemia. Dehydration from vomiting or diarrhea is a major cause
of hypokalemia, but your patient has not reported being sick. This
leaves two possible causes: kidney problems or a genetic mutation
in ion channels.
The kidneys are important for regulating the levels of
potassium released in urine. A patient with malfunctioning kidneys
may be releasing too much potassium in...

Prologue: Alice Kaninchenbau was a 20-year-old junior at Boise St. University, where she majored in Political Science and played as an open-side flanker on the women’s rugby team. In the last game of the season (against Weber St.) she suffered a broken nose (and the team suffered a 0-36 loss). Always an optimist, Alice considered her broken nose to be the perfect reason to have a rhinoplasty (and get the nose she had always wanted). The case: The antibiotic erythromycin...

Testing and Screening Ken had just turned 40, and with a little encouragement from his wife, he decided that it was time to have a physical-it would be his first real visit to a doctor since he broke his arm as a kid. Seeing a doctor had not made sense to him before. He was in great shape, felt fine, and did not smoke. Maybe it was his 65-year-old father's sudden death from a heart attack just a few weeks...
