Review on Kalemic Conditions in Pregnancy
Abstract
Hypokalemia and hyperkalemia, are common electrolyte electrolyte diseases related to changes in potassium intake, excretion, or transcellular shifts. Hypokalemia is commonly induced by diuretics and gastrointestinal losses, whereas hyperkalemia is typically caused by kidney disease, hyperglycemia, and pharmaceutical use. The aetiology of kalemia can range from minor to severe, and it can be caused by diet, drugs, or another disease. Symptoms of hypokalemia include sinus bradycardia, ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation and acute muscle weakness, gestational hypertension, adrenal insufficiency, and renal failure are the symptoms associated with hyperkalemia. Chronic kidney disease and intrauterine fetal death are life-threatening complications associated kalemia in child bearing mother. The medical profile remitted promptly on potassium intake for hypokalemia or increase potassium excretion for hyperkalemia. This review gives an insight into the causes, symptoms, complications as well as pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments of Kalemic conditions in pregnancy. This review also reported some cases of hypo and hyperkalemia in pregnancy in both human and animals.
