Electrolyte imbalances associated with tremor
Several electrolyte disturbances can cause tremor through neuromuscular hyperexcitability. [1], [2]
Hypomagnesemia
Hypomagnesemia is associated with tremors, including postural, resting, and intention tremor. [1]
Hypocalcemia
Hypocalcemia can produce neuromuscular irritability that may include tremor. [3], [4]
Hypokalemia
Hypokalemia can cause neuromuscular symptoms including tremor. [2]
Hyponatremia
Hyponatremia, including treatment-related neurologic syndromes after correction, can present with tremor and other movement abnormalities. [5]
Co-occurrence of electrolyte abnormalities
Hypomagnesemia commonly co-occurs with hypokalemia and hypocalcemia, which can compound neuromuscular symptoms. [6], [3]
