Low potassium most commonly leads to alkalosis accompanied by low chloride alkalosis. Generally, patients with low potassium ion content will transfer potassium ions from intracellular to extracellular, which is a function of the body’s self-repair, so in order to maintain the charge balance hydrogen ions will be transferred from extracellular to intracellular, at which time patients will experience alkalosis. The patient will first experience dizziness, headache, weakness, and in severe cases, nausea, vomiting, acid reflux, heartburn, and other digestive symptoms, which can lead to toxic shock.
