Clinically significant hyperkalemia reduces membrane excitability and disturbs the acid-base balance, manifesting as weakness, flaccid paralysis, hypoventilation, and metabolic acidosis.

In severe acidosis, total body sodium is markedly ... may require concentrated potassium infusion at 0.1–0.3 mEq/kg/h Hyperkalemia Generally secondary to intracellular to extracellular shift ...

Hyperkalemia is an elevated level of potassium (K⁺) in the blood. Normal potassium levels are between 3.5 and 5.0 mmol/L (3.5 and 5.0 mEq/L) with levels above 5.5 mmol/L defined as hyperkalemia.
