276.8 DiseasesDB 6445 000479 eMedicine emerg/273 D007008 Hypokalemia refers to the condition in which the concentration of hypo- means low (contrast with hyper-, meaning high). Kal refers to kalium, the Neo-Latin for potassium, and -emia means "in the blood". The total potassium in the human body is approximately 3500 mEq for a 70 kg adult; at least 95% of the body's potassium is found inside cells, with the remainder in the blood. This concentration gradient is maintained principally by the Contents • 1 Pathohysiology • 2 Causes • 3 Signs and symptoms • 4 Treatment • 5 Hypokalemia in pets • 6 See also • 7 References Pathohysiology Potassium is essential for many body functions, including Causes Hypokalemia can result from one or more of the following medical conditions: • Perhaps the most obvious cause is insufficient consumption of potassium (that is, a low-potassium diet). However, without excessive potassium loss from the body, this is a rare cause of hypokalemia. • A more common cause is excessive loss of potassium, often associated with heavy fluid losses that "flush" potassium out of the body. Typically, this is a consequence of • Certain medications can accelerate the removal of potassium from the body; including thiazide diuretics, such as • A special case of potassium loss occurs with • • Disease states that lead to abnormally high • Rare • Rare Signs and symptoms Mild hypokalemia is often without symptoms, although it may cause a small elevation of Some electroc...

Hypokalemia occurs when the body excretes too much potassium. People with the condition do not have enough of this crucial mineral in the blood. Severe hypokalemia can lead to signs and symptoms such as muscle weakness and other health problems. Hypokalemia is a type of Potassium is an essential mineral that Hypokalemia usually occurs as a symptom of another condition or as a side effect of medications that increase the flow of urine. The opposite of hypokalemia is In this article, we look at the symptoms, causes, diagnosis, and treatment of hypokalemia. We also discuss the outlook for people with low potassium levels. Symptoms of hypokalemia Some people may also not have any symptoms at all. However, when they do, they may experience: • • respiratory failure • • • cramping during • • • • • • heart irregularities Since the condition can also impair the function of the kidneys, people with hypokalemia can urinate too much while feeling extremely thirsty. Cognitive impairment may also occur. Moreover, during physical activity, when the engaged muscles are releasing potassium, hypokalemia Hypokalemia can become life threatening if it affects the heart muscle, causes paralysis, or impairs the functioning of the lungs. However, a Potassium plays an The kidneys regulate potassium concentration in the body by regulating the passing of urine. Hypokalemia occurs when this process stops working, and the body loses too much potassium through urine or sweat. In rare cases, hypokalemia...

May 26, 2008 Coding for Electrolyte Disorders For The Record Vol. 20 No. 11 P. 32 Electrolyte disorders are classified to ICD-9-CM category 276, Disorders of fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base balance. This column focuses on abnormal potassium and sodium levels in the blood. Hypernatremia Hypernatremia (hyperosmolality; 276.0) is defined as an elevated sodium level in the blood that is more than 145 milliequivalents per liter. Hypernatremia results from a decrease of free water in the body rather than excess sodium. Therefore, physicians may document the term dehydration instead of hypernatremia. Dehydration is classified to code 276.51. If, however, dehydration is documented with hypernatremia, assign only code 276.0 per coding directives in ICD-9-CM. Common causes of hypernatremia include inadequate water intake, inappropriate water excretion, and the intake of a hypertonic fluid. Symptoms include lethargy, weakness, irritability, and edema, and seizures and coma may occur in more severe cases. The treatment for hypernatremia is the infusion of a water solution containing 0.9% sodium chloride. Hyponatremia Hyponatremia (hyposmolality; 276.1) is a sodium concentration in the blood of less than 135 milliequivalents per liter and occurs when the sodium in the blood is diluted by excess water. Signs and symptoms of hyponatremia include nausea/vomiting; headache; confusion; lethargy; fatigue; appetite loss; restlessness; irritability; muscle weakness, spasms, or cramps; seizur...
