The role of nephrologists in management of hypokalemic periodic paralysis: a case report

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2022
Background Hypokalemic periodic paralysis is a chronic condition characterized by sporadic attacks of weakness associated with acute hypokalemia. Attacks are typically associated with specific triggers, such as prolonged rest following exercise or ...

Thyrotoxic Hypokalemic Periodic Paralysis: A Case Report

Turkish Journal of Internal Medicine, 2022
Thyrotoxic hypokalemic periodic paralysis is a rare and fatal complication of hyperthyroidism and is associated with low serum potassium levels and muscle weakness. Herein, we presented a young male patient who did not use the antithyroid drugs given for

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.

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 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 Rep
ABSTRACT 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 ...

Clinical and biochemical spectrum of hypokalemic paralysis in North: East India

Annals of Indian Academy of Neurology, 2013
Background: Acute hypokalemic paralysis, characterized by acute flaccid paralysis is primarily a calcium channelopathy, but secondary causes like renal tubular acidosis (RTA), thyrotoxic periodic paralysis (TPP), primary hyperaldosteronism, Gitelman′s ...
