Excerpt

The important causes of hypokalemic paralysis include those due to renal tubular acidosis (RTA), hypokalemic familial periodic paralysis (FPP), primary hyperaldosteronism, and cystic kidney diseases including medullary sponge kidneys (MSK). Other possible causes are diuretic overdose, cystic fibrosis, dengue infection, thyrotoxicosis, gastrointestinal losses, Gitelman and Bartter syndrome.

Distal RTA.

Supportive. Potassium and bicarbonate supplements.
