This study reviews hyperkalemia (high potassium) and hypokalemia (low potassium), common electrolyte imbalances. It offers differential diagnoses and treatment strategies for physicians managing these conditions.

Area of Science:

  • Internal Medicine
  • Nephrology
  • Endocrinology

Background:

  • Hyperkalemia and hypokalemia are frequent clinical challenges.
  • Potassium balance is critical for cellular function and overall health.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a comprehensive overview of hyperkalemia and hypokalemia.
  • To guide physicians in the differential diagnosis and management of these electrolyte disorders.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of current guidelines and clinical studies.
  • Synthesis of diagnostic criteria and therapeutic options.

Main Results:

  • Detailed discussion of causes for both high and low potassium levels.
  • Outlined stepwise approaches for patient management.
