honestly saying you were able for me at least to breakdown this electrolyte imbalance the BEST on the internet. I am a RN student who has been watching endless videos to help me truly grasp and apply with confidence what is actually happening in the body...... so Thank you and whomever is behind the scenes for making sense of a complex subject

Thank you for that clear explanation. I got back a suspicious looking blood test result and went looking for explanations. I found your explanation of what high levels of P really means to be the best abd clearest of any I found. You truly have a gift for teaching. Keep up the good work, please. One cannot have too much information in health matters in my opinion. Again, thank you very much.

I have Addison’s Disease and my K has been 9 before. It’s was so bad that I couldn’t walk/crawl or move my body, it was so scary that I was practically paralyzed. I was afraid that it was going to cause trouble with my heart/lungs/ diaphragm. By the way, love the information you provided!! 💟

Hello. Do hyperparathyroidism, hashimotos cause potassium levels. I had surgery for the parathyroid problem, was diagnosed with hypothyroid 23 yrs ago. Then it switched 15 yrs ago to hyper. Now they say I officially have hashimotos but my levels were not enough to need medicine. Have had heart flutters and my legs feel weak if I'm stressed or hot for awhile now. Numbness at times. I'm kind of being brushed off by Dr's who say the heart flutters are from having Graves antibodies. That doesn't explain the leg thing though. I'm depressed at this point.

Great question, cha nyu! When glucose is too high the potassium which is usually inside the cells will shift outside the cells to try to balance it out, this also happens with insulin and potassium and we talk about it in this video: ua-cam.com/video/qa9zkrvlXKc/v-deo.html
Per se no, but in patients with hyperglycemia and treated with insulin, K+ is affected. Where insulin goes there goes K+. A patient receiving insulin at the ICU is monitored for hypokalcemia.
Thank you for this amazing video Christine. Can I ask you why hyperactive leads to diarrhea? If the bowel movement is active, I thought it would be good to digest and absorb food well?🤔🤔
Cathy YOO, active is good, hyperactive causes the bowel to move the food too quickly through and doesn't give the body enough time to digest it properly. I hope that helps to clarify it for you!
What if patient has only one kidney and one adrenal and is 90 yo on lasixs twice plus one potassiym tablet plus blood pressure pill. I'm concerned possibly dr not compensating the dosage for her having only one kidney one adrenal, no gallblader and elderly w pacemaker. Heart rate average 60 irregular sometimes dips below 60 and blood pressure below 80/120 like 57/118. She tends to be quite anxious and scared sky is falling. Patient reluctant to take lasix causing her to pee so much(legs swell a lot) so she reduces lasix intake sometimes but continues the potassium. Wouldn't that cause increase of too much potassium? Concerned neither her heart nor gp are calibrating right dosage of lasix and potassium or she unknowingly increases hee potassium by reducing only the lasixs. What is best dosage of lasix and potassium pills for one kidney, one adrenal, 130lb 90 yo with swelling legs. Would a nephrologist know?
