Hypokalemia Therapeutic Goals: • to prevent life-threatening complications (arrhthymias, respiratory failure) • correct the K+ deficit • minimize on-going losses through treatment of underlying cause (AGE) • Hypomagnesemia should be sought and corrected to allow effective K+ repletion Using the old formula: K+ deficit = (desired –actual)/0.27 x 100 = (3.5 -2.8)/0.27 x100 = 260 meqs New Paradigm: 4.0 to 3.0 = 200 meqs deficit 3.0 to 2.0 = 400 meqs deficit <2.0 = 600 meqs deficit Since K+ is 2.8 = 400 meqs deficit
Hypokalemia Oral Therapy • safer • larger doses can be given IV Therapy • For patients with imminently life-treatening hypokalemia and those unable to take anything by mouth • MAX conc: • 40 meqs/L via a peripheral vein • 100 meq/L via a central vein • Rate of Infusion • 20 meq/hr unless paralysis or malignant ventricular arrhythmias are present
Hypokalemia Correct half of the deficit in 24 hours, the rest for the next 3 days K+ deficit = 400 meqs correct 200 meqs for the first 24 hours Oral KCl 10 meqs/tab 5 tabs q6 for 4 doses IV KCl 10% sol’n, 40 meqs/30cc, 40 meqs in 1L pNSS x 6° for 5cycles For this patient, she was managed: KCl 10% drip 40 meqs in 1 L pNSS x x 6° for 3 cycles Oral KCl 3 tabs q8 for 3 doses then d/c
Hypokalemia For this patient the hypokalemia was primarily due to GI losses Contributory Factors (Transcellular Shift) • Stress Hyperglycemia (insulin and cathecolamine – induced transcellular shift) • Anemia(anabolic state)
Clinical Manifestations of Hypokalemia • Symptoms inlcude: • Fatigue • Myalgia • Muscular weakness • If severe, can lead to: • Progressive weakness • Hypoventilation • Complete paralysis • Hypokalemic periodic paralysis
ECG Findings Early changes: Flattening/inversion of T wave Prominent U wave ST-segment depression Prolonged QU interval Severe K depletion: Prolonged PR interval Widening of the QRS complex Increased risk of ventricular arrythmias
Hypokalemia • Defined as a plasma concentration <3.5mmol/L • Causes: • Decreased intake • Redistribution into cells • Increased loss
Decreased Intake • Starvation, clay ingestion • Normal K intake is 40-120 meq/day • Rarely the sole cause • However, can contribute to the severity if an underlying problem is present
Redistribution Into Cells • Maintained by the Na-K-ATPase pump in the cell membrane • Metabolic/Respiratory alkalosis – promotes K entry into cells • Insulin – increases the activity of the Na-K-ATPase pump • B2-agonists – increases the activity of the Na-K-ATPase pump
Increased Losses • GI losses usually seen in patients with: • Severe infectious diarrhea (usually secretory) • Villous adenomas • Vasoactive intestinal pepetide tumors • Laxative abuse • Primarily due to increased urinary losses • Results in volume depletion and metabolic alkalosis • Hypovalemia stimulates aldosterone release
