Hypokalemic Periodic Paralysis in a Young Woman With Mast Cell Activation Syndrome: A Case Report of an Atypical Presentation Associated With an Ultra-Rare CACNA1S Variant. [PDF]
Clin Case RepABSTRACT Hypokalemic periodic paralysis (hKPP) is a rare neuromuscular channelopathy characterized by transient episodes of muscle weakness or paralysis associated with low serum potassium levels. It has been most commonly linked to autosomal dominant mutations in ion channel genes, specifically CACNA1S and SCN4A, which impair skeletal muscle ...

Thyrotoxic hypokalemic periodic paralysis [PDF]
QJM, 2016 Learning points for clinicians Non-selective beta-blockers, avoidance of high-salt, carbohydrate-rich meals and strenuous exertion are essential in acute management, until thyrotoxicosis is treated. Unlike primary, or familial, hypokalemic periodic paralysis, potassium supplementation alone is ineffective.1 Acetazolamide and T4 supplementation may ...

Hypokalemic periodic paralysis
National Journal of Maxillofacial Surgery, 2012 Hypokalemic periodic paralysis is a rare genetic disorder characterized by recurrent attacks of skeletal muscle weakness with associated hypokalemia which is precipitated by stress, cold, carbohydrate load, infection, glucose infusion, hypothermia, metabolic alkalosis, anesthesia, and steroids.
