Efficacy of Retigabine in Treating Weakness in a Mouse Model of Hypokalemic Periodic Paralysis

Muscle &Nerve, Volume 73, Issue 4, Page 663-667, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Hypokalemic periodic paralysis (HypoKPP) is an ion channelopathy causing episodic skeletal muscle weakness triggered by hypokalemia. Reduced inward rectifier K+ (Kir) channel activity contributes to membrane depolarization and paralysis, suggesting that pharmacologic activation of muscle K+ channels may restore excitability ...

Atrial Arrhythmia: A Rare Presentation of Thyrotoxic Hypokalemic Periodic Paralysis

Indian Journal of Clinical Cardiology
Thyrotoxic hypokalemic periodic paralysis is a rare but life-threatening complication of hyperthyroidism characterized by hyperthyroidism, hypokalemia, and transient episodes of acute proximal muscle weakness. Incidence of thyrotoxic hypokalemic periodic

Efficacy of a K+ Channel Agonist, XEN1101, For Preserving Contractility in Mouse Models of Hypokalemic Periodic Paralysis

Muscle &Nerve, Volume 73, Issue 4, Page 668-674, April 2026.
Pretreatment with an agonist of Kv7 potassium channels (XEN1101) protects the soleus muscle from a loss of force during a 2 mM K+ challenge, in a mouse model of hypokalemic periodic paralysis. ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Effective management remains lacking for recurrent episodes of acute weakness in hypokalemic periodic paralysis (HypoPP).

Sjogren’s syndrome presenting with recurrent hypokalemic paralysis

, 1970
Sjogren’s syndrome is an autoimmune disorder commonly affecting females and presents with the dryness of the mouth and eyes. Here, we present an interesting case of Sjogren’s syndrome, initial presentation with distal renal tubular acidosis (RTA) causing

Immediate Postoperative Decrease in Serum Potassium and One‐Month Reduction in Renal Function After Adrenalectomy for Primary Aldosteronism: A Multicenter Retrospective Study

Advances in Urology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Objectives Although adrenalectomy for primary aldosteronism (PA) corrects hypokalemia, we observed cases in which serum potassium decreased immediately after adrenalectomy, even in patients with preoperative hypokalemia. No studies have described postoperative potassium changes in PA.

Hypokalemic Periodic Paralysis Secondary to Thyrotoxicosis

, 2023
Background: Hypokalemic Periodic Paralysis (HPP) is a rare neuromuscular disorder characterized by acute, transient muscle weakness and paralysis secondary to hypokalemia and can be complicated by cardiac arrhythmias.
