Association of hypokalaemia and hypophosphataemia.

A prospective study of 13 patients with hypokalaemia due to a variety of causes demonstrated that six had hypophosphataemia. In 10 patients the plasma inorganic phosphate level rose on correction of the hypokalaemia. Before treatment seven patients had an excessive rate of excretion of phosphate relative to creatinine in the urine. Following correction of the hypokalaemia 11 patients had an increase in renal tubular reabsorption of phosphate relative to creatinine. It is suggested that hypokalaemia may be causally related to the hypophosphataemia, and that in chronic potassium depletion this may affect bone mineralization.

Vitamin D intoxication, with hypernatraemia, potassium and water depletion, and mental depression.

Two elderly patients suffering from manic-depressive psychosis/depressive reaction had concurrently hypercalcaemia from vitamin D intoxication. They developed hypernatraemia with severe potassium and water depletion. Hypercalcaemia was pronounced, but both patients recovered quickly and their depressive symptoms resolved following water and potassium repletion and corticosteroid therapy.
