Causes of Hypokalemia - Differential Diagnosis Algorithm
Once pseudohypokalemia is ruled out, causes of hypokalemia can be grouped into three discrete buckets:
1. Decreased filling of bucket (low intake)
2. Bucket that is leaky all over (transcellular shift)
3. Bucket with the drain wide open all the time (urinary or GI loss)
