I have a question about hypokalemia. I am wondering how hypokalemia is related to fat-soluble vitamin. I am a nursing student, and I have heard that in many cases, doctors order diet high in fat-soluble vitamin to hypokalemic pt. Can you explain this to me?

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
I looked at the details and I have not seen any. Fat rich diet is supposed to be rich in potassium. However, not all fatty goods are rich.
