Can Low Potassium Be A Sign Of Gallbladder Disease?
Can low potassium be a sign of gallbladder disease. I have been through a nightmare of gi tests and fianlly I asked for a Hida Scan which was performed and I find my ejection level at 7%. For months I've has low potassium levels, about a year ago I had elevated liver levels. Is it possible that all along it's been my gallbladder causing my stomach issues and chemical inbalances?
noted history of hypokalemia. are you experiencing other symptoms like abdominal pain, fever, vomiting, jaundice, dizziness? low potassium level or hypokalemia is not the usual presentation of a gallbladder disease. electrolyte imbalances of the body usually happens when you are experiencing gastric upsets, heart problems, malnourishment. it is best if you consult with a doctor for physical examination and clinical evaluation. other diagnostics and management will be directed accordingly. inclusion of banana in your diet is also recommended.
hope this helps.
good day!!
