[|Human|] I went into the hospital 3 weeks ago with gallstones and they had to put me on a potassium drip for 4 days to get my potassium levels back up. (6 bags total) My liver enzymes and heart enzymes were high but I tested negative for every test they gave me including all hepatitis. Now, it has dropped again, what could be causing it to drop?
[|AI|]  Hi, welcome to Chat Doctor. Thank you for posting your query. Let me make it clear about uses of potassium in the body. It helps in functioning of muscle and nerve cells in the body. Certain symptoms like severe vomiting, loose motions, antibiotic use, diuretics, chronic kidney diseases cause hypokalemia. Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
