Abstract:
The incidence of hypokalemia and periodic paralysis was retrospectively analyzed in 1225patients with hyperthyroidism. The results showed that 104 patients with hyperthyroidism (8.5%)had hypokalemia, and 82. 7% cases were women, with the potassium levels of 3.10 - 3.42 mmol/L. Periodic paralysis occurred in 60 patients (4. 9% ) and 96. 7% cases were men; 93.3% patients had the potassium levels less than 3. 0 mmol/L. Hypokalemia and periodic paralysis were alleviated after the control of hyperthyroidism.
