*The ~~criteria~~ for coding this is ~~any of the 3 following items: (New Feb 12.18)~~

**K+ < 2.5 ~~'''OR'''~~

**K+ < 3.0 with signs or symptoms ~~believed to be due to hypokalemia '''OR'''~~

**K+ < 3.0 with active treatment for hypokalemia

*Main signs/symptoms of ~~hypokalemia~~ are:

**cardiovascular - abnormal ECG (U waves, ST-depression, flat T's,) atrial and ventricular ectopy, digoxin toxicity

**neuromuscular - weakness, decreased DTRs, orthostatic hypotension * paralysis~~, rhabdomyolysis~~

**neuromuscular - weakness, decreased DTRs, orthostatic hypotension, paralysis

**GI - constipation * ileus, worsened hepatic encephalopathy

**renal - nephrogenic DI, metabolic alkalosis, decreased GFR and RBF, increased NH3 production * Na+ retention, Cl- wasting, polydipsia\polyuria

**other - rhabdomyolysis
