Rationale for change

The current wording is inconsistent across related cards: some refer to “blood concentration,” while others specify “plasma” or “serum concentration” (e.g., Anki ID: 1516843419666). This inconsistency may lead to confusion and should be standardized.

Additionally, whole blood includes cellular components (RBCs and WBCs). In conditions such as DKA, intracellular potassium is decreased, while serum (extracellular) potassium is normal or increased due to impaired cellular uptake. Referring simply to “blood concentration” obscures this distinction and can be misleading.

Therefore, it is more accurate to consistently use plasma (or serum) potassium concentration.
