Electrolyte abnormalities can be complex, challenging and sometimes intimidating to manage. In these sessions we will focus on one electrolyte per session. In each case, we’ll look at the physiology that controls each electrolyte to help us understand how and why they become abnormal. We’ll then focus in on a problem-based approach to diagnosing and managing each abnormality, spending time discussing how we can resolve the electrolyte abnormalities and their consequences safely, and how we diagnose and treat specific diseases that cause these abnormalities.
