It is disabling, and fatalities sometimes occur. Here, we present a patient with TPP who developed hypokalemic paralysis that was probably aggravated by the administration of a carbohydrate, probably contributing to, if not causing, a fatal outcome.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Summary:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A 30-year-old Chinese patient received\n                      <jats:sup>131<\/jats:sup>\n                      I treatment for Graves' disease (GD) in our hospital. Three days later in the middle of the night, he developed aggravating paralytic symptoms after a heavy evening meal. The next morning, he was seen in a small clinic and was treated with 1250\u2009mL 5% glucose containing 25\u2009mL 10% potassium chloride (KCl). By early afternoon, he had not improved and was transferred to a city hospital, arriving with grade I muscle strength and severed facial and bulbar paralysis that was shortly followed by cardiac arrest with failure of resuscitation. Shortly before he died, his serum K\n                      <jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>\n                      was 1.15\u2009mEq\/L (normal=3.5\u20135).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We postulate that severe hypokalemia developed in our patient in part in response to the high intravenous glucose load that he received. We advocate caution against using intravenous glucose solutions for potassium administration in patients with TPP and recommend a review of guidelines suggesting this form of treatment. In rural settings with limited resources, we favor oral potassium, not to exceed 100\u2009mEq per day, and transfer to a modern medical facility in settings where muscle weakness is developing in patients with TPP.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1089\/thy.2011.0352","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,7,24]],"date-time":"2012-07-24T11:08:41Z","timestamp":1343128121000},"page":"969-972","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Fatality After Cardiac Arrest in Thyrotoxic Periodic Paralysis Due to Profound Hypokalemia Resulting from Intravenous Glucose Administration and Inadequate Potassium Replacement"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Dan Yun","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Sun Yat-sen University","place":["China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Peter F.","family":"Schneider","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University Hospital","place":["Germany"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xiang Song","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sun Yat-sen University","place":["China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zhi Min","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sun Yat-sen University","place":["China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tang Hua","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sun Yat-sen University","place":["China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,9,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.1.5538.451"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_2","first-page":"274","volume-title":"Hyperthyroidism: Thyrotoxic Paralysis (In Chinese)","author":"Bai Y","year":"2003","unstructured":"Bai Y. 2003.
