One of its major roles is to prepare the lining of the uterus (the endometrium) to allow the embryo to implant and grow. In some of the treatment protocols progesterone is not produced by the ovary in adequate amounts, or its effect on the lining of the uterus is inadequate. This problem is called luteal deficiency. It is more common in older women and in women with abnormal ovulation.
Potassium chloride can be given orally in less serious situations or by IV in more serious situtations of potassium shortage. When given by IV, potassium chloride cannot be administered via IV push/bolus (or via IM or s.q.), because it would result in the patient receiving too much potassium too quickly; it must be diluted and infused over a certain period of time.
Potassium is excreted (or flushed out of your system) by your kidneys. Any damage to your kidneys, when they are not working properly, may cause an increase in potassium levels leading to hyperkalemia.As seen with tumor lysis syndrome-when you receive chemotherapy, the drugs will act by breaking down the tumor cells. Some medications that contain potassium, or medications that preserve the amount of potassium that is excreted through your kidneys, can cause hyperkalemia. 2  These may include Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, such as Lisinopril, or potassium-sparing diuretics, such as Spironolactone (e.g., Aldactone).
