Pt is admitted with Vomiting and diarrhea from gastroenteritis. His volume status is corrected with intravenous fluids and the diarrhea resolves. His pH is 7.4 and his serum bicarbonate has normalized. Despite vigorous oral and intravenous replacement, his potassium level fails to rise. Next Step?
Pt is admitted with Vomiting and diarrhea from gastroenteritis. His volume status is corrected with intravenous fluids and the diarrhea resolves. His pH is 7.4 and his serum bicarbonate has normalized. Despite vigorous oral and intravenous replacement, his potassium level fails to rise. Next Step? --- Check Magnesium level. Hypomagnesemia can lead to increased urinary loss of potassium. If magnesium is replaced, it will close up the magnesium-dependent potassium channels and stop urinary loss.
