Risk factors for postoperative hypokalemia in patients undergoing endoscopic pituitary adenoma resection: a retrospective cohort study
Patients aged ≥50 years and those presenting with hypoalbuminemia on the first postoperative day were more likely to develop postoperative hypokalemia. Therefore, electrolyte monitoring should be enhanced in such patients postoperatively, especially to actively prevent hypokalemia on the 4th-5th postoperative day.
