Heavy Alkaline Earth Metals and Hypokalemia

Barium is the primary heavy alkaline earth metal associated with acute hypokalemia.
Mechanism of Action: Barium toxicity typically causes profound hypokalemia by blocking potassium channels, which drives potassium rapidly from the extracellular fluid into the intracellular space.
Clinical Implication: This acute intracellular shift can lead to severe muscle weakness, paralysis, and cardiac arrhythmias.
