Hypokalemic quadriparesis: an unusual manifestation of leptospirosis.
We report a 46-year-old male who presented with fever and flaccid weakness of all four limbs due to Leptospirosis associated hypokalemia. Acute hypokalemic quadriparesis is an uncommon presentation of leptospirosis, not yet widely recognised. Renal potassium wasting occurs in Leptospirosis and subsequently, the development of hypokalemia leads to paralysis. The patient had kaliuresis due to lep...

Renal involvement in Sjögrens's syndrome is less common, and the initial presentation with renal complications without any sicca symptoms is extremely rare. The renal involvement may present with symptoms arising from interstitial nephritis, mainly distal renal tubular acidosis.

Distal renal tubular acidosis is a syndrome of abnormal urine acidification and is characterized by hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis, hypokalemia, hypercalciurea, nephrocalcinosis and nephrolithiasis. Despite the presence of persistent hypokalemia, acute muscular paralysis is rarely encountered in males.Here, we will report an eighteen year old male patient who presented with flaccid quadrip...
متن کاملHypokalemic Quadriparesis Secondary to Abuse of Cocaine and Heroin.
Low plasma potassium level can cause muscle weakness, lassitude, constipation as well as rhabdomyolysis and arrhythmias, when severe. In muscle, low plasma potassium increases resting membrane potential (hyperpolarization) of myocytes that tend to make muscle more refractory to excitation, leading to muscle weakness. Hypokalemia can be associated with a myriad of causes including drugs of abuse...
