Abstract
When clinical presentation is atypical, especially in a non-Asian population, the finding of recurrent and refractory hypokalemia can serve as a key diagnostic clue for timely diagnoses and management of thyrotoxic periodic paralysis. In suspected cases, complete thyroid laboratory panel should be measured so that T3 toxicosis is not missed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
