Abstract
This electrolyte disturbances chapter is full of important pearls to the identification and treatment of hyponatremia, hypernatremia, hypokalemia, hyperkalemia, hypokalemia, and hypoglycemia. The tables are a vital tool to help identify the etiology of the patient’s electrolyte abnormality. Treatments are concise and bulleted for quick reference and action.
