If you meant hyperkalemia, that refers to high levels of potassium in the blood which can have serious health implications.


What will happen to a person's resting membrane potential if they take potassium enhanced intravenous solution?

A potassium enhanced intravenous solution would increase the concentration of potassium ions in the brain. Since potassium ions are positively charged, they depolarize the resting membrane potential. For example, a resting membrane potential of -65 millivolts would be depolarized to -62 millivolts. An appropriate concentration could lead to a significant depolarization of, say, -60 millivolts, at which point an action potential could be possible.


Can you have anxiety with low potassium?
