Recognizing a Rare Presentation: Hypokalemic Periodic Paralysis Secondary to Amphetamine Use

Nephrology
Hypokalemic periodic paralysis is a hereditary or acquired temporary flaccid paralysis of skeletal muscles, affecting proximal musculature more than distal, as a result of hypokalemia.

Voltage-Dependent Ca2+ Release Is Impaired in Hypokalemic Periodic Paralysis Caused by CaV1.1-R528H but not by NaV1.4-R669H

bioRxiv, 2022
Hypokalemic periodic paralysis (HypoPP) is a channelopathy of skeletal muscle caused by missense mutations in the voltage sensor domains (usually at an arginine of the S4 segment) of the CaV1.1 calcium channel or of the NaV1.4 sodium channel. The primary

Hypokalemic Periodic Paralysis or Hypokalemic Muscle Weakness?

Archives of Neurology, 1981
To the Editor— Bennet and Forman, in their recent report of a case of chronic toluene exposure that had caused tubular dysfunction, loss of potassium, and muscle weakness (Archives1980;37:673), used the term "hypokalemic periodic paralysis" to describe the disease.

Recognizing thyrotoxic hypokalemic periodic paralysis

JAAPA, 2018
ABSTRACT Thyrotoxic hypokalemic periodic paralysis (THPP) is a rare but potentially serious complication of thyrotoxicosis. The resulting muscle weakness is profound, associated with more severe hypokalemia, yet reversible. However, clinicians must be cautious because patients can develop life-threatening hyperkalemia during treatment ...

Muscle Contractility in Hypokalemic Periodic Paralysis

Muscle and Nerve
Primary hypokalemic periodic paralysis (HypoPP) can present with periodic paralysis and/or permanent muscle weakness. Permanent weakness is accompanied by fat replacement of the muscle. It is unknown whether the permanent muscle weakness is solely due to

Hypokalemic Periodic Paralysis with Arrhythmia

New England Journal of Medicine, 1972
IN 1963, Klein and his co-workers1 described a variant of periodic paralysis in which intermittent attacks of muscular paralysis occurred in patients who also had cardiac arrhythmia.

Hypokalemic Periodic Paralysis

Archives of Neurology, 1979
To the Editor.— Hypokalemic periodic paralysis has been treated in many ways, such as by the use of potassium supplements and spironolactone to increase the patient's level of potassium 1 and most recently by the use of acetazolamide. 2 This last method is thought not to alter potassium metabolism 3 but rather to work through the creation of metabolic

Simultaneous Cases of Familial Hypokalemic Periodic Paralysis Induced by Illicit Injection of Betamethasone.

Journal of Emergency Medicine
BACKGROUND Periodic paralysis is a rare neuromuscular disorder characterized by episodes of painless muscle weakness. Hypokalemic periodic paralysis (HPP) is the most common subtype of periodic paralysis.

Hypokalemic Periodic Paralysis

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1971
To the Editor.— Hypokalemic periodic paralysis has been reported mainly in white patients. 1 The relatively high incidence in Japanese has been most often in association with thyrotoxicosis. 2 The one Negro patient reported was also thyrotoxic.

Familial hypokalemic periodic paralysis.

Archives of neurology, 1974
Exercise can abort or postpone attacks of weakness in familial hypokalemic periodic paralysis (FHoPP). To determine its effect during established attacks, muscle contraction was produced by electrical stimulation of the ulnar nerve during attacks of weakness in two sisters with FHoPP.
