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.

Compound Sodium Chloride Injection
Indication: 1. Water loss due to various reasons, including hypotonic, isotonic and hypertonic water loss; 2. Hyperosmotic non-ketotic coma, the use of isotonic or hypotonic sodium chloride can correct water loss and hypertonic state; 3. Hypochloremic metabolic alkalosis. When the patient cannot eat or eats less for some reason and needs to supplement the daily physiological needs, sodium chloride injection or compound sodium chloride injection can generally be given. Because this product contains very little potassium, hypokalemia needs to be supplemented as needed.

Potassium Chloride Injection
Indication: Electrolyte supplement. Used for: 1. Treatment of hypokalemia caused by various reasons. Such as insufficient food intake, vomiting, severe diarrhea, use of potassium-excreting diuretics, hypokalemic familial periodic paralysis, hypokalemia caused by long-term use of glucocorticoids and supplementation of hypertonic glucose, etc. 2. Prevention of hypokalemia. When the patient has potassium loss, especially if hypokalemia is harmful to the patient (such as patients using digitalis drugs), preventive potassium salt supplementation is required, such as eating very little, severe or chronic diarrhea, long-term use of adrenocortical hormones, potassium-losing nephropathy, Bartter syndrome, etc. 3. Frequent, multifocal premature beats or rapid arrhythmias caused by digitalis poisoning.
