The most striking symptom of hypokalemic flabbiness disease is symmetric flaccid paralysis involving both the upper and lower extremities, which is characterized by weaker proximal muscle groups than distal ones and weaker lower extremities than upper ones. Paralysis is associated frequently with symptoms of the alimentary and circulatory system. Laboratory examinations revealed mainly decrease of serum potassium and hypokalemic changes in the electrocardiogram. Abnormal renal tubular function and decrease of CO-combining power may be observed in some of the patients. Attention should be given to differentiation of this illness from the other hypokalemic paralytic diseases and Guillain-Barré syndrome. The treatment is aimed mainly at administration of potassium in sufficient dosage and concentration as early as possible. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
