In most patients, mild hypokalemia is asymptomatic, while those with moderate-to-severe hypokalemia tend to show more prominent symptoms. In patients with a potassium level of 2.5 milliequivalents\/liter (mEq\/L) or lower, symptoms such as muscle cramps or weakness, rhabdomyolysis, and myoglobinuria tend to arise. These manifestations can lead to more debilitating consequences, such as renal failure secondary to rhabdomyolysis or respiratory failure secondary to muscle weakness. Other symptoms such as ileus, nausea, and vomiting, as well as cardiac arrhythmia and abnormalities, are also associated. Here we would like to present a patient with a potassium level of 1.4 mEq\/L secondary to furosemide who presents to the emergency department with only complaints of muscle spasms for the past few days.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/23247096241300932","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,20]],"date-time":"2024-11-20T23:48:22Z","timestamp":1732146502000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["A Unique Case of a Mildly Symptomatic Patient With Severe Hypokalemia Secondary to Furosemide"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-7486-0297","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kevin Trong","family":"Dao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Kern Medical-UCLA, Bakersfield, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Amrit","family":"Dhillon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Kern Medical-UCLA, Bakersfield, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Syed Saad","family":"Uddin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Kern Medical-UCLA, Bakersfield, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sabitha","family":"Eppanapally","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Kern Medical-UCLA, Bakersfield, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8246-3871","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hobart","family":"Lai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Kern Medical-UCLA, Bakersfield, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-23247096241300932","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ndt\/7.9.896"},{"key":"bibr2-23247096241300932","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.1981.03320150035024"},{"issue":"18","key":"bibr3-23247096241300932","volume":"145","author":"Heidenreich PA","year":"2022","journal-title":"Circulation"},{"key":"bibr4-23247096241300932","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.12968\/bjcn.2020.25.10.474"},{"key":"bibr5-23247096241300932","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11906-016-0636-7"},{"key":"bibr6-23247096241300932","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajem.2004.09.016"},{"key":"bibr7-23247096241300932","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(67)92239-8"},{"key":"bibr8-23247096241300932","first-page":"836","volume-title":"Clinical Physiology of Acid-base and Electrolyte Disorders","author":"Rose BD","year":"2001","edition":"5"},{"key":"bibr9-23247096241300932","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00003246-199105000-00016"},{"key":"bibr10-23247096241300932","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijcard.2013.08.048"},{"key":"bibr11-23247096241300932","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/01.CIR.0000145144.56673.59"},{"key":"bibr12-23247096241300932","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jemermed.2007.01.017"},{"key":"bibr13-23247096241300932","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.1966.03100180069021"},{"key":"bibr14-23247096241300932","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4065\/mcp.2010.0575"},{"key":"bibr15-23247096241300932","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11606-017-4199-3"}],"container-title":["Journal of Investigative Medicine High Impact Case Reports"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/23247096241300932","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1177\/23247096241300932","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/23247096241300932","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,29]],"date-time":"2026-04-29T08:04:16Z","timestamp":1777449856000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/23247096241300932"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024,1]]},"references-count":15,"alternative-id":["10.1177\/23247096241300932"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/23247096241300932","relation":{},"ISSN":["2324-7096","2324-7096"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2324-7096","type":"print"},{"value":"2324-7096","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2024,1]]},"article-number":"23247096241300932"}}
