Why do Beta agonist cause hypokalemia?
Beta 2 adrenergic agonists cause increased potassium entry into cells, which can lead to hypokalemia
What is the effect on the heart function in the case of hypokalemia and hyperkalemia?
Hypokalemia and hyperkalmia both can have effects on the heart function. Hypokalemia and hyperkalemia can cause cardiac arriythmias.
Does anorexia cause hypokalemia or hyperkalemia?
Hypokalamia.
Can hypokalemia cause AV block?

Do ace inhibitors cause hypokalemia?
It could. If its a diabetic patient who has raised serum postassium due to diabetic nephropathy then ace inhibitor can improve his diabetic nephropathy leading to hypokalemia.... BUT it DOESNT cause hypokalemia directly... instead it leads to hyperkalemia...
Which electrolyte imbalance can cause an atrioventricular block?

Hyperkalemia or hypokalemia which is more serious?
hyperkalemia as it may cause heart arrythmias and sudden death, where hypokalemia generally just causes malaise, muscle weakness and tetany. hyperkalemia as it may cause heart arrythmias and sudden death, where hypokalemia generally just causes malaise, muscle weakness and tetany.
Why do beta 2 agonists cause hypokalemia?
Beta 2 agonists cause hypokalemia by stimulating the beta 2 adrenergic receptors in the skeletal muscle, liver, and kidneys, leading to increased cellular uptake of potassium. This effect can result in decreased serum potassium levels and can be exacerbated in patients who are predisposed to hypokalemia due to conditions such as diuretic use or metabolic alkalosis.
How is digoxin associated with hypokalemia?
Usually, hyperkalemia is associated with usage of digoxin. This is due to the blocking action of digoxin on the Na/K ase which results in accumulation of extracellular K+.Most of the times, patients presenting with heart problems are already on diuretics before they are prescribed with digoxin. Diuretics cause hypokalemia as they result in excessive excretion of K+ from the body. Hypokalemia in turn causes digoxin toxicity. Digoxin toxicity does not cause hypokalemia, but hypokalemia can worsen digoxin toxicity.
Do steroids cause hair to fall out?
