Real-world insights from acute management of potassium disorders in diabetic ketoacidosis
Potassium imbalances were highly prevalent in DKA. Although hyperkalemia was more common on admission, hypokalemia frequently developed during treatment. Daily 6.0 g KCl replenishment was superior to lower doses in predicting hypokalaemia. This study provided the full spectrum of potassium disorders in DKA and delivered an evidence-based, patient-specific replenishment framework.
