The Clinical Caveat for Treating Persistent Hypokalemia in Diabetic Ketoacidosis

The medical community seeks to provide evidence-based guidelines for treating any disease to ensure optimal care delivery. Occasionally, a patient's unique physiology does not respond to guideline-driven treatments and requires experienced clinical personalization for treatment. Failure of clin...

description The medical community seeks to provide evidence-based guidelines for treating any disease to ensure optimal care delivery. Occasionally, a patient's unique physiology does not respond to guideline-driven treatments and requires experienced clinical personalization for treatment. Failure of clinicians to recognize patient outliers and augment care can delay treatment, provide substandard care, and potentially threaten a patient's life. This paper describes a clinical caveat for treating profound or persistent hypokalemia in patients with DKA (diabetic ketoacidosis).
