reduced level of plasma potassium.
deficiency of potassium in the blood
The Condition"...may be manifested clinically by neuromuscular disorders ranging from weakness to paralysis, by electrocardiographic abnormalities (depression of the T wave and elevation of the U wave as seen on an electrocardiogram), by renal disease, and by gastrointestinal disorders..."
a reduction in the amount of potassium in the blood.
Abnormally low concentrations of potassium in blood.
A low level of potassium in the blood: may cause muscle weakness or low blood pressure.
Abnormally low levels of potassium in the blood.
abnormally low level of potassium in the circulating blood leading to weakness and heart abnormalities; associated with adrenal tumors or starvation or taking diuretics
Abnormally low potassium levels in the blood. May cause neuromuscular disorders, weakness, paralysis, renal disease, gastrointestinal disorders and electrocardiography abnormalities.
low blood potassium level.
Potassium levels that are too low.
A lack of potassium in the blood, usually caused by excessive amounts of it being excreted, that leads to muscle weakness, heart irregularities, disorientation, and sometimes cardiac arrest.
Abnormally low potassium concentration in the blood. It may result from potassium loss by renal secretion or by the gastrointestinal route, as by vomiting or diarrhea. It may be manifested clinically by neuromuscular disorders ranging from weakness to paralysis, by electrocardiographic abnormalities (depression of the T wave and elevation of the U wave), by renal disease, and by gastrointestinal disorders. (Dorland, 27th ed)
low blood potassium levels
Too little potassium in the blood.
Abnormally low potassium concentration in the blood; it may result from excessive potassium loss by the renal or the gastrointestinal route, from decreased intake, or from transcellular shifts. It may be manifested clinically by neuromuscular disorders ranging from weakness to paralysis, by electrocardiographic abnormalities (depression of the T wave and elevation of the U wave) by renal disease, and by gastrointestinal disorders. (citation and more information).
Abnormally low plasma potassium concentrations.
This means that potassium levels are too low in the blood.
The Condition"This is the condition of having abnormally low potassium concentration in the blood; it may result from excessive potassium loss by the renal or the gastrointestinal route, from decreased intake, or from transcellular shifts..."
Hypokalemia is a potentially fatal condition in which the body fails to retain sufficient potassium to maintain health. The condition is also known as potassium deficiency. The prefix hypo- means low (contrast with hyper-, meaning high).
