So, what symptoms can cause hypokalemia? Now let's talk about it.

Symptoms of fever and hypokalemia

Hypokalemia can cause intestinal peristalsis, mild anorexia, nausea, constipation, severe hypokalemia can cause abdominal distension, paralytic bowel obstruction; Long term hypokalemia can lead to potassium deficiency nephropathy and renal dysfunction, decreased renal concentration function, polyuria and low proportion, especially nocturia. This may be due to the damage of distal convoluted renal tubular cells, the decrease of antidiuretic hormone response and the decrease of water resorption capacity. In addition, after the potassium deficiency, the smooth muscle of the bladder is reduced, and urine retention can occur. * patients often have pyelonephritis.

When hypokalemia, myocardial excitability is generally enhanced, and palpitations and arrhythmias may appear. Severe cases may have atrioventricular block, ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation, and finally cardiac arrest in systolic state. In addition, it can also cause the decrease of myocardial tension, cardiac enlargement, peripheral vascular dilatation, blood pressure drop and so on.

Neuromuscular system performance for nerve, muscle stress decline, limb muscle weakness, soft paralysis, tendon reflex slow or disappear and other nephrotic symptoms, severe cases will appear dyspnea, or even coma.
