Remark<\/strong><\/td>

  • Potassium is the most important intracellular cation. <\/li>
  • Potassium levels are only significant if the serum has promptly been separated.<\/li>
  • Pseudohyperkalaemia may occur due to the release of potassium from platelets, leukocytes and erythrocytes. Preanalytically, haemolysis also leads to falsely elevated levels.<\/li>
  • The main causes of hyperkalaemia are oliguria and Addison\u2019s disease.<\/li>
  • The main causes of hypokalaemia are vomiting or abomasal reflux, diarrhoea, renal dysfunction, Cushing\u2019s disease\/ glucocorticosteroid therapy.<\/li>
  • Cave:<\/strong> Even in case of absolute potassium deficiency, serum levels may stay within reference range for some time!<\/li>
  • Cattle:<\/strong> Elevated levels of potassium may lead to reproductive disorders and recumbency if there is a relative sodium deficiency at the same time. <\/li> <\/ul><\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
