Liquid PotassiumIMPORTANCE: Works with sodium to regulate the body's waste balance and normalize heart rhythms; aids in clear thinking by sending oxygen to the brain; preserves proper alkalinity of body fluids; stimulates the kidneys to eliminate poisonous body wastes; assists in reducing high blood pressure; promotes healthy skin. Deficiencies: With the exception of starvation, low or declining total body potassium is not a result of insufficient dietary intake but the outcome of a catabolic, protein wasting condition which reduces the total cell mass of the body. Hypokalemia (low serum K) is the result of excessive loss of K in the urine, usually as a result of use of diuretic agents to treat hypertension. Hypokalemia may result in cardiac failure. May result in poor reflexes, nervous disorders, respiratory failure, cardiac arrest, muscle damage.
