Abstract:
Corticosteroids, also called glucocorticoids or steroids, are hormones produced by the adrenal cortex, part of the adrenal glands. These hormones affect almost all body organs and are extremely important in maintaining homeostasis when secreted in normal amounts to have different functions. The goals of corticosteroids during treatment are to decrease exacerbation of symptoms and improve quality of life in patients with obstructive airway diseases. Thus corticosteroids play an important role in the therapy of obstructive airway diseases. Hypokalemia is one of the major adverse effects of corticosteroids. Serum potassium is the most specific indicator available for the diagnosis of hypokalemia. This review is designed to investigate the effects of corticosteroids on serum potassium levels in patients with obstructive airway disorders along with the route which caused more effects and the drug which caused more prominent effects
