  • Title: [Hypokalemic periodic paralysis in thyrotoxicosis].
    Author: Kalburova F, Petrov D, Ilieva K, Belovezhdov N.
    Journal: Vutr Boles; 1989; 28(6):73-6. PubMed ID: 2633483.
    Abstract:
    For the first time in Bulgaria a case of hypokalemic periodic paralysis in thyrotoxicosis is described. Three periods of paralysis were observed and documented in a hospital. The thyrotoxicosis was well manifested with disturbed carbohydrate tolerance and responded favourably to methizole treatment. It is suggested that the mechanism for the development of the hypokalemic periodic paralysis is the intracellular blockade of potassium by the surplus of thyroid hormones.
