This study describes the high prevalence of hypokalemia among patients with COVID-19 and the
Generic name: enalapril (oral/injection) [ e-NAL-a-pril ] Brand names: Epaned, Vasotec
In conclusion, we have shown that enalapril and spironolactone protect against hypokalemia after inhalation of terbutaline over 4 h in normal volunteers

Lisinopril is classified as an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor and has been available for nearly three decades
Case patients with hyperkalemia were more likely to be using long-acting ACE inhibitors (lisinopril and enalapril) than normokalemic controls (91% vs 83%; P=
5 mmol/L) is not very common, but it is independently associated with a higher event rate
Renal side effects including new or worsened renal insufficiency has been associated with ACE inhibitors
Although there is a slight variation, an acceptable lower limit for normal serum potassium is 3
The patient reports a history of swelling of the tongue and lips after taking enalapril [Vasotec] in the past
Potassium is a mineral that helps: nerves and muscles "communicate"
Alterations in K regulation can lead to neuromuscular, gastrointestinal, and cardiac abnormalities
A lowering of the client's blood pressure reflects a therapeutic response and needs to be monitored frequently
Enalapril and spironolactone protect against the fall in serum potassium over 4 h by elevating baseline potassium concentration
Chest pain
A low potassium level can cause muscle weakness, cramping, or an abnormal heartbeat, which is especially dangerous for people with heart problems

05× higher odds of developing hypokalemia and hyperkalemia within 3 years, respectively
