We report two cases of a patient with paresis/paralysis caused by a severe iatrogenic hypokalemia. In both cases, the extreme muscle weakness disappeared with correction of the electrolyte disturbance. The mechanisms of hypokalemia due to nephrotoxic drugs and treatment of this electrolyte disturbance are discussed. |
