Drug-induced dyskalemia
The total amount of potassium stored in the body is about 3000 mEq (50-70 mEq/kg body weight), concentrated mainly in the cells (140 mEq/L). In blood and extracellular fluid, normal potassium levels are 3.5–5 mEq/L. That is the value of potassium measured in a blood test. Hypokalemia is considered to be decreased when the serum potassium level is <3.5 mEg/L (mmol/l). Blood potassium is considered elevated when the serum potassium level is >5 mEq/L (mmol/l). Regulates potassium levels in the body through two processes: intracellular potassium exchange - extracellular fluid and renal excretion of potassium.

Measures to correct dyskalemia
Potassium is an electrolyte that plays an important role in life activities. However, due to various reasons, serum potassium concentration is not maintained within the allowable range but can increase or decrease, causing blood potassium disorders. So how to effectively regulate blood potassium disorders without causing side effects for patients?
