Electrolyte Imbalance Symptoms

Symptoms of electrolyte imbalance include a number of indicators: 1, when low sodium is often more obvious tissue edema, the patient’s thirst is not obvious. Early thirst is obvious when high sodium is present, and after further aggravation, drowsiness, coma, blood pressure drop and even death can occur. 2. Low potassium is mainly characterized by muscle weakness, fatigue, poor gastrointestinal function and slow gastrointestinal peristalsis. Hyperkalemia is mainly characterized by hyperactivity, mainly in the heart, which can lead to atrioventricular block and even cardiac arrest; 3. Convulsions are often seen in hypocalcemia, and burns are more commonly associated with early massive rehydration, leading to dilutional hypocalcemia. Hypercalcemia is relatively rare; 4, others, imbalances such as magnesium and phosphorus. In short, in clinical treatment, electrolyte disorders do not have specific symptoms, we must carefully observe the changes in time, according to the laboratory indicators timely adjustment.
