3 Νοε 2023 · If the potassium in your blood serum is below 3.5 mmol/L, you have hypokalemia. If your level is in the range of 3.0-3.4 mmol/L, you have mild hypokalemia, and if your level is lower than 3...
10 Μαΐ 2022 · What is hypokalemia? Hypokalemia is when the amount of potassium in your blood is too low. Normal levels of potassium for an adult range from 3.5 to 5.2 mEq/L (3.5 to 5.2 mmol/L). Anything lower than 3 mEq/L (3 mmol/L) may be considered severe hypokalemia.
Hypokalemia is generally defined as a serum potassium level of less than 3.5 mEq/L (3.5 mmol/L). Moderate hypokalemia is a serum level of 2.5-3.0 mEq/L, and severe...
12 Μαΐ 2024 · Hypokalemia refers to a lower-than-normal level of potassium found through a blood test. Symptoms of hypokalemia include muscle cramps, weakness, fatigue, and more.
