What exactly does the unit mEq mean? Simon A. 09:56, 10 Sep 2004 (UTC)

I have written a stub at milliequivalent. It is actually quite a complex concept, and I'm surprised it hasn't already been covered. -- FirstPrinciples 14:29, Sep 10, 2004 (UTC).

OK, I've expanded that article and moved it to Equivalent weight (chemistry) -- FirstPrinciples 04:07, Sep 11, 2004 (UTC)

Hypokalemia

As I understand hypokalemia, and its causes, I believe it can also be genetic.

I'm glad you understand hypokalemia! Honestly, there are a few hereditary conditions in which there is low potassium (e.g. Bartter syndrome, periodic paralysis), but the vast majority is not genetic. JFW | T@lk 06:50, 1 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
