Dehydration & Potassium Levels | Healthfully
*Increased Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN); elevated BUN: Creatinine Ratio (in presence of a normal creatinine); elevated Hematocrit; elevated Potassium (K+); elevated Chloride (Cl-); elevated Urine Specific Gravity; and/ or elevated Serum Osmolality; (Sodium can be increased, normal or low, depending on the underlying cause of the dehydration.)

Potassium supplementation: a child needs 2-3 mmols/kg K+ per 24 hours. For maintenance then, this means roughly (and safely) 10mmol K+ in every 500ml bag for children weighing less than 30kgs and 20mmol K+ in every 500ml bag for those more than 30kgs.

Dehydration is an elimination reaction of an alcohol: The elimination reaction involves the loss of an OH from one carbon and an H from an adjacent carbon. Overall, this amounts to the elimination of a molecule of water, resulting in a pi-bond formation of an alkene. ... which is a test for the presence of double bond in compound Potassium ...

Mitch was started on normal saline with potassium as well as an insulin drip. Why are these fluids a component of his rehydration and correction of the HHS? Mitch needs to be slowly rehydrated and his potassium levels were low with lead to increased dehydration.

Thus, if one calculates the amount of fluid required to replace the deficit with normal saline, plus the maintenance fluids in the form of ¼ normal saline, most cases of isotonic dehydration will utilize ½ normal saline with 20-30 mEq/l of potassium as the intravenous fluid.
