title: [Etiopathogenetic considerations in 2 cases of dysmetabolic hypokalemic paralysis with signs of increased neuromuscular excitability during potassium repletion].
abstract: Increased neuromuscular excitability with varying clinical and EMG features were also observed during KCl administration in both cases. The findings are discussed on the light of the membrane ionic gradients current theory.
