Taking a specific whey protein supplement (ImuPower) daily for 6 weeks can improve shortness of breath but not lung function or quality of life in people with COPD. Other research suggests that taking whey protein supplements does not improve lung function, muscle function, or exercise tolerance in people with COPD.
I have a pt who has hypochloremia and hypokalemia along with hyponatremia. I don't under stand the relationship between hypochloremia and hypokalemia. I did write that hypokalemia is related to my pt by: drugs can cause decreased levels such as heparin.
Antidepressant and antipsychotic drugs cause hyponatremia through the development of SIADH. Antiepileptic drugs: Carbamezepine, oxcarbazepine, sodium valproate, lamotrigine. Carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine and sodium valproate cause an increase in production of ADH, whereas carbamazepine and lamotrigine cause potentiation of ADH effect.
