		Any decrease in the concentration of potassium outside cells, mainly plasma potassium, is given the clinical term hypokalaemia.
		It has also been found that almost all cancer patients are low in potassium and that excessive aspirin can lead to hypokalaemia.
		The normal plasma potassium concentration is 3.5-5.0mmol/L. A serum potassium level below 3.5mmol/L is indicative of mild hypokalaemia, while serum potassium levels below 3.0 and 2.5mmol/L confirms moderate and severe hypokalaemia respectively.
