Overview
Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of Andersen-Tawil syndrome (ATS) include serum potassium levels. Some patients with Andersen-Tawil syndrome (ATS) may have elevated/reduced concentration of serum potassium levels, which is usually suggestive of Andersen-Tawil syndrome (ATS).
Laboratory Findings
- There are no diagnostic laboratory findings associated with Andersen-Tawil syndrome (ATS).
- An elevated/reduced concentration of serum potassium levels is consistent in Andersen-Tawil syndrome (ATS).[1]
- Patients with Andersen-Tawil syndrome (ATS) may experience weakness when the potassium levels in the blood drops to low which suggests the name hypokalemic periodic paralysis.[2][3]
- Weakness may also occurs in patients with Andersen-Tawil syndrome (ATS) when the potassium levels are even normal but the weakness may be triggered by exercise, cold, or even sometimes menstruation.
- Thyroid hormones such as thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), T4, and T3 levels should be checked due to thyrotoxic periodic paralysis can also present with muscle weakness and paralysis.[4]
