Hypokalemia in the elderly
Serum potassium level <3.5mmol/L, normal or decreased overall potassium, is called hypokalemia. Many diseases can be accompanied by changes in blood potassium, and the safe range of blood potassium changes is very small. Both hypokalemia and hyperkalemia can cause serious functional disorders of the body and even cardiac arrest, which is one of the important factors leading to death in many diseases.
