<prompt> If a patient with several hyperglycemia is given IV insulin, which of the following can occur?HypokalemiaHyperkalemiaHyponatremiaHypernatremia  <response>: Answer is A Hypokalemia: Insulin causes IC to enter cells with a resultant lowering of extracellular IC concentration Hypokalemia Relation of Insulin to Potassium Ganong 22nd338 Insulin causes IC to enter cells with a resultant lowering of the extracellular K concentration Hypokalemia Infusion of insulin and glucose significantly lower the plasma IC level in normal individual Hypokalemia Infusion of insulin and glucose is very effective for the temporary relief of hyperkalemia The reason for intracellular migration of IC is still unceain. However increase the activity of Na - K ATPase in cell membranes so that more IC is pumped into cells.
