Potassium is one of the most important elements in the human body; it is necessary to promote the work of many muscles of the human body to perform its functions properly, such as skeletal muscle, smooth, and heart muscle, in addition to potassium plays an important role in the transmission of nerve signals in the nervous system in the body . In the normal state, about 98% of the potassium is found inside the cells, while only 2% exists outside. In fact, the potassium can pass from inside the cell to the outside and vice versa, But it remains normal in the acceptable proportions, so it can be said that the transfer of potassium to the outside of the cells beyond the normal limit may cause hyperkalemia (in English: Hyperkalemia), which is known in general to increase the potassium in the body.
