A 42 year old male had an ankle strain 8 days back for which he was
give Diclofenac sodium 50mg Bid. He presented to his GP with complaints
of generalized weakness, his baseline workup was all normal except his
serum potassium levels which was 5.9 .
What is the path-o-physiology of the drug most likely causing his Hyperkalemia ?
1) Diclofenac contains potassium
2) Diclofenac causes decreased cellular uptake of potassium
3) It induces a state of relative hyporenemic Hypoaldosteronism
4 ) Inhibits Na-Kt ATP ase pump
5) It does not cause hyperkalemia
ANSWER)
3) It induces a state of relative hyporenemic Hypoaldosteronism
