A member asked:
Hello. i have hypokalemia with no known cause that was a sudden onset almost 4 years ago. ive had genetic testing and every blood test imaginable. is there anyone who can suggest what other avenues i can take to find out whats causing this?

This most common cause would be primary aldosteronism. Be certain you have been checked for this. Go to primaryaldosteronism.org and main.hyperaldosteroneism@groups.io and learn more. In what state were you born. If in TN consider Liddle's syndromes or periodic paralysis.

If correct it is a complex matter and in my opinion needs to be investigated at an academic medical center.. Good luck.
