- Hypokalemia is a metabolic imbalance characterized by extremely low potassium levels in the blood. It is a symptom of another disease or condition, or a side effect of diuretic drugs.
- Patients with hypokalemia are encouraged to eat more bananas, oranges, guavas, hard persimmons, melons, tomatoes, dark green vegetables, chicken soup, or broth.
- Patients with a history of hypokalemia should go to the ER if there is persistent diarrhea, vomiting, worsening muscle weakness, or other recently managed symptoms showing no improvements.
- For further treatment and tests, please follow up at the nephrology or endocrinology outpatient department as scheduled.
