A member asked:
Wondering why would someone with low k+ be put on fluid restrictions?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fluid restriction: There are hormonal problems that cause k to be diluted in the blood. Fluid restriction helps minimize this. If a patient has low k with too much fluid volume; fluid restriction is prudent.
