Kidney problem Weight loss Potassium level
Mother, aged 73, has a serious problem as her health has been deteriorating for the past nine months, especially with a steady weight loss now at 40 kilograms, losing 7 liters of water, and being in the hospital's ICU station. Now the problem is that her body is not able to maintain a stable potassium level and has too little of it. She has been receiving infusion therapy in the hospital for the past 2 weeks, but there has been no improvement. Do you have any ideas about possible causes for why her body is not retaining potassium? Thank you very much!
