What are the Treatment Options for Severe Hypokalemia?
Treatment focuses on addressing the underlying cause and replenishing potassium levels:
Oral potassium supplements: Often the first line of treatment for mild to moderate cases. Intravenous potassium: Used in severe cases or when oral supplementation is not feasible. Dietary changes: Encouraging the consumption of potassium-rich foods like bananas, oranges, and spinach. Treating underlying conditions: Managing any gastrointestinal or renal disorders contributing to potassium loss.
