Hypokalemic periodic paralysis (hypoKPP), also known as familial hypokalemic periodic paralysis (FHPP), [1] is a rare, autosomal dominant channelopathy characterized by muscle weakness or paralysis when there is a fall in potassium levels in the blood (hypokalemia).

2024年3月19日 · Hypokalemic periodic paralysis (hypoPP) is a rare disorder caused by skeletal muscle ion channel mutations, mainly affecting calcium or sodium channels. HypoPP is characterized by episodic severe muscle weakness, usually triggered by strenuous exercise or a high-carbohydrate diet.

Hypokalemic periodic paralysis (HOKPP) is characterized by episodes of muscle paralysis associated with a fall in blood potassium levels (hypokalemia). Episodes typically involve a temporary inability to move muscles in the arms and legs. The first attack usually occurs in childhood or adolescence.

2002年4月30日 · Hypokalemic periodic paralysis (hypoPP) is a condition in which affected individuals may experience paralytic episodes with concomitant hypokalemia (serum potassium <3.5 mmol/L). The paralytic attacks are characterized by decreased muscle tone (flaccidity) more marked proximally than distally with normal to decreased deep tendon reflexes.

2018年8月14日 · Hypokalemic periodic paralysis (hypoPP or hypoKPP) is a rare disorder in which a person experiences episodes of painless muscle weakness and often paralysis. It’s...

Hypokalemic periodic paralysis (HKPP) is a rare genetic disorder with autosomal dominant inheritance and characterized by recurrent attacks of skeletal muscle weakness with associated hypokalemia which is precipitated by stress, cold, carbohydrate load, infection, glucose infusion, hypothermia, metabolic alkalosis, anesthesia, and steroids.

Hypokalemic periodic paralysis (hypoPP) is a disorder that causes occasional episodes of muscle weakness and sometimes a lower than normal level of potassium in the blood. The medical name for low potassium level is hypokalemia.

Hypokalemic periodic paralysis is a condition that causes episodes of extreme muscle weakness typically beginning in childhood or adolescence. Most often, these episodes involve a temporary inability to move muscles in the arms and legs. Attacks cause severe weakness or paralysis that usually lasts from hours to days.

2023年12月31日 · Hypokalemic periodic paralysis (hypoPP) is a disorder that causes occasional episodes of muscle weakness and sometimes a lower than normal level of potassium in the blood. The medical name for low potassium level is hypokalemia.

Periodic paralysis is caused by mutations (changes) in the genes that control the function of certain ion channels in the muscle membrane. Ion channels are openings that pierce the muscle membrane and act as gates for the movement of ions of sodium and potassium in …
