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.
