In #DKA, insulin deficiency causes #potassium to shift from inside cells to the bloodstream. This initially leads to elevated serum potassium levels (#hyperkalemia), even though total body potassium is often depleted due to increased urinary losses caused by osmotic diuresis (high glucose levels pulling water and electrolytes out of the body). • Once insulin therapy and fluids are started, potassium begins to shift back into cells, which can cause serum potassium levels to drop rapidly (hypokalemia). Without careful potassium monitoring and replacement, this drop can lead to severe hypokalemia, which can cause dangerous cardiac arrhythmias or muscle weakness. • #hypokalemia during DKA treatment can lead to fatal complications such as cardiac #arrhythmias and respiratory muscle weakness.
