DOI: 10.1016/j.clinph.2018.04.405
Abstract: Introduction In hypokalemic paralysis, hypokalemia-induced inactivity of the muscle fibre Na+K+ ATPase pump is supposed to be responsible for motor inexcitability, resulting reduced or non-recordable CMAP amplitudes. Hence, nerve conduction studies (NCS) mainly includes reversible… read more here.
