Hypokalemia Causes: Whiteboard Animation

Master a systematic approach for the causes of hypokalemia! What medications cause hypokalemia? How does vomiting cause low potassium?
"Correction:" (03:35) Type I RTA has a defect in secreting hydrogen ions, so the urine is alkalotic. It contributes to acidemia which causes calcium to precipitate and be filtered by kidneys, and the alkalotic environment in urine forms stones.

@@Core_IM this content is actually top notch i'll sure share it with my med school friends !

I believe the following (@ 3:35) is incorrect "the excess hydrogen ions in the urine create an acid environment". In type 1 RTA the urine becomes more alkalotic.

You are absolutely right. We made a correction in the description. Thank you for your feedback!
