Low potassium can occur for many reasons. Use of water pills (diuretics), diarrhea, and chronic laxative abuse are the most common causes of low potassium levels. Illness and other medications may also lower potassium levels. Woman and African-Americans are at higher risk of developing hypokalemia.
Adults need 4.7 grams of potassium per day from food sources, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center. Foods high in potassium include bananas, spinach, carrots and oranges. Decreasing potassium intake can cause levels in the body to drop, but this is not a common reason for a decrease in potassium levels. Fluid Loss from Acute Illness Low potassium levels can occur when the body loses too much fluid due to illness. This fluid loss may occur because of excessive amounts of vomiting and diarrhea. It is important to replace fluids and electrolytes, such as sodium and potassium when experiencing diarrhea and vomiting.
