Is it true that one of the side effects of hypokalemic periodic paralysis is nephropathy? why? what's therefore the solution to this? please explain.

That's news to me: This is a channelopathy and if you have it, i trust you have already learned how to manage it. Lists in pathophysiology books often include propagated errors, and since "hypokalemic nephropathy" is kidney trouble from low potassium (quite famous), probably this is the source of the error.
