Abstract

Hypokalemia can be multifactorial. When the primary driver of hypokalemia is obvious it is easy to miss other contributing causes that could be vital to optimal patient management and outcomes. Our case report highlights the importance of recognizing recurrent, refractory hypokalemia as a diagnostic clue to thyrotoxic periodic paralysis.
