Abstract
Hypokalemia can be multifactorial. When the primary driver of
hypokalemia is obvious it is easy to miss other contributing causes that
could be vital to optimal patient management and outcomes. Our case

hypokalemia as a diagnostic clue to thyrotoxic periodic paralysis.12 Apr 2021Submitted to Clinical Case Reports 13 Apr 2021Submission Checks Completed
