Excessive cola-based drink consumption as a criminal for hypokalemia and rhabdomyolysis

Year 2016, Volume: 29 Issue: 2, 121 - 123, 01.04.2016
https://doi.org/10.5472/MMJcr.2902.04

Abstract

A 33-year-old man was admitted to our emergency department with leg pain. His serum potassium level was 2.3 mmol/L. Laboratory tests ruled out renal potassium wasting. A dietary history revealed that he had been consuming at least 1 liter of cola per day for several months. We present a case of hypokalaemic myopathy induced by chronic cola-based drink consuming.Keywords: Cola-based drink consumption, Hypokalemia, Rhabdomyolysis
