Hyperkalaemic paralysis--a bizarre presentation of renal failure. Issue 3 (1st May 1999) - Cumberbatch, G L
Abstract : Paralysis due to hyperkalaemia is rare and the diagnosis may be overlooked in the first instance. However it is rapidly reversible and so long as electro-cardiography and serum potassium measurement are urgently done in all patients presenting with paralysis, it will not be missed. A case of hyperkalaemic paralysis is described and a review of the emergency management discussed.
