Summary Introduction
To determine:
The resting membrane potential in hyperkalemia.
Introduction:
Hyperkalemia is a condition when the level of potassium is elevated. The levels are greater than the normal level. This disease does not have any underlying causes. This condition can be a result of eating potassium rich meal or it can occur due to the side effects of any medication.
