520			_aObjective: To study the occurrence, causes, predisposing facto rs and management of potassium abnormalities in a t ertiary care hospital. Methods: Inour study which was for aduration of six months, we recorded patient demographics, electrolyte level s, complete blood picture, liver function tests, renal parameters, comorbid conditio ns, medication reconciliation and electro cardio gr am (ECG) changes. The data was analyzed to find out the cause for potassium abnormality and wa s categorize based on their severity. Results : A total of 200 cases of potassium abnormalities w as normalized during the study period. We observed 158(80%) cases with hypokalemia, 37 (17%) cases with hyperkalemia and 5 (3%) cases w ith subsequent Potassium abnormalities. We observed the majority of hypokalemiaare with disease induced 87(55.06%) cases and 118 (74.0%) ca ses were with mild hypokalemia. Syrup potassium chl oride was used to normalize the serum potassium levels. Majority of the hyperkalemia case s were disease induced and was found in 19(51.35%) cases and 22 (59.45%) cases come under mild category which was managed with injection calc ium gluconate. Conclusion: Hypokalemia was the most common potassium abnormalit y seen in hospitalized patients. Disease induced po tassium abnormalities was found to be more common in both hypo and hyperk alemia. The potassium levels were normalized with n o major negative outcomes. Continuous monitoring of electrolyte levels is requ ired for the patient to prevent further complicatio ns.
