Intravenous Treatment of Hypokalemic Periodic Paralysis

Archives of Neurology, 1983
Acute attacks of weakness in patients with hypokalemic periodic paralysis can usually be treated with oral potassium preparations. Occasional patients, however, require intravenous (IV) potassium administration. We studied a patient with hypokalemic periodic paralysis to determine the effect of using 5% glucose as a diluent for potassium administration

Thyrotoxic periodic paralysis, an unusual cause of hypokalemic periodic paralysis.

Acta neurologica Belgica, 1996
Over a two-year period two patients were admitted to the hospital with episodes of paralysis and hypokalemia. In the first patient, familial hypokalemic periodic paralysis was initially suspected. Only several months later was Graves' disease diagnosed and this diagnosis linked to thyrotoxic periodic paralysis.
