There was this question on UW asking for a scenario that can prevent a pt from recovering from ATN.
Their answer was hypokalemia. They state that hypokalemia can prevent a pt from recovering from ATN. However, throughout their entire explanation, they kept talking about how ATN can cause metabolic imbalance (e.g. HYPERKALEMIA).
Did they make a mistake here? The explanation and answer seems to be contradictory!
Please help!
