RECURRENT HYPOKALEMIC PERIODIC PARALYSIS –THREE RARE SECONDARY CAUSES
Anjaly P. Nair, Lakshmi R.*, Siby Joseph, Sunu Kurian
ABSTRACT Periodic paralysis (PP) is a rare neuromuscular disorder related to a defect in muscle ion channels, characterized by episodes of painless muscle weakness, which may be precipitated by heavy exercise, fasting or high-carbohydrate meals. Hypokalemic PP is still quite rare with an estimated prevalence of 1 in 100,000. Here we present a case of 41 years old female patient having hypokalemic periodic paralysis with secondary causes including renal tubular acidosis (RTA), Sjogren’s syndrome and hypothyroidism. Keywords: Hypokalemic Periodic Paralysis, Renal tubular acidosis, Sjogren’s syndrome, Rheumatoid Arthritis. [Download Article] [Download Certifiate] |
