2000, ChestCitation Excerpt :Conversely, the recent resurgence in popularityof diuretics68 could lead again to a rise in the incidenceof LK in patients with MI. The stress-mediating mechanism of LK inpatients with MI does not exclude the infrequent occurrence of LK dueprimarily to diuretic-induced total body serum potassiumdepletion.69 Only 7 of our 41 patients (17.0%) with LK had serum potassium < 3.0mEq/L, and none had serum potassium < 2.5 mEq/L, a commonly employedthreshold for diagnosis of severe LK.2729
