Dehydration:
Patients with diabetes can get an intense attack of hyperkalemia, especially when they are dehydrated. The body requires water to perform when the body deprives of water body becomes incapable of performing significant functions. Lack of fluids increases the concentration of electrolytes. Potassium is an electrolyte that increases with a decrease in water. Vomiting, diarrhoea, excessive urine discharge due to diuretics, abnormal sweating, lower intake of water that can end up in dehydration. The decreased water level can thicken the blood as well as lowering the efficient and adequate transportation of blood in arteries. Dehydration causes hypertension, and it also minimizes the passage of blood in the tissue leading to increased metabolic acidity.
