Explanation of frusemide induced hypokalamia not understood at 13.00 min

[@DrShikhaParmarClasses]

Furosemide inhibits Na+K+2Cl-cotransport. So, Na+ is not reabsorbed. Along with Na+, K+ & water are also not reabsorbed. This causes excretion of Na+, H2O and K+ in urine. Excretion of water causes diuresis. Since K+ is also excreted and not reabsorbed in blood, this causes low potassium concentration in blood, termed as hypokalaemia.
This is how hypokalaemia is produced.
