Abstract EN
We report a case of severe hypokalemia and volume depletion complicated by chronic watery diarrhea resulting from chronic alcoholism in a 57-year-old man.
Prompt replacement of normal saline with potassium chloride and cessation of alcohol intake resulted in a favorable outcome.
We discuss the pathophysiology of the case, emphasizing the response of aldosterone in both hypokalemia and volume depletion, and provide a review of recent research.
