Hypokalemia
A serum potassium concentration lower than 3.5mmol/L (3.5mEq/L, the normal range of serum potassium concentration is 3.5-5.5mmol/L) is called hypokalemia. In hypokalemia, the total amount of potassium in the body does not necessarily decrease, as it is the case when extracellular potassium moves into cells. However, in most cases, patients with hypokalemia also have a decrease in the total amount of potassium in the body - potassium deficit.
