Journal Title: PARIPEX-Indian Journal of Research - Year 2019, Vol 8, Issue 7
Abstract
Introduction: Abnormal electrolyte concentrations i.e. Hypokalemia, hyponatremia, and hypocalcemia are reported in asthmatic patients which is attributed secondary to use of ß -agonists and aminophylline therapy. Bodenhamer J et al carried out a study to evaluated use of nebulized beta-agonists for asthma and its effects on serum electrolytes and reported that Aggressive administration of nebulized salbutamol during the emergency treatment of acute bronchospasm is associated with statistically significant decreases in serum potassium, sodium, and magnesium level. Hence, present study was undertaken to evaluate the serum electrolyte concentration disturbances among chronic stable asthmatic patients. Methodology: The present prospective study was undertaken among 50 stable asthmatic patients taken from outpatient Department of Pulmonary Medicine, C.U.Shah medical college & Hospital, Surendranagar, Gujarat. All patients were subjected to detailed history & most common electrolyte disturbance in our study. Henceforth, serum electrolytes should be checked during admission of the patient. Result: In this study electrolyte disturbance observed in most commonly in 14 to 23yr old patient with female predominance and also hypokalemia is most comman followed by hyponatremia. Conclusion: In conclusion, electrolyte disturbances are common in asthma. Hypokalemia and hyponatremia were found to be the most common electrolyte disturbances in our study.
