Hyperkalemia is a relatively common electrolyte abnormality that in serious cases can lead to life-threatening arrhythmias. There are a number of factors that can contribute to hyperkalemia, and in mo...
Hyperkalemia is a common yet dangerous phenomenon in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Patients suffering from CKD are therefore often treated with potassium-binding supplements such as calc...
A 68 year old male patient suffering from CKD was treated with a daily administration of 80mg CPS. He presented with complaints of a dry mouth, thirst and malaise. Blood tests showed an elevated serum...
Although CPS induced hypercalcemia is usually mild, a more severe course is possible. Knowledge about the composition of medication is paramount to prevent such side effects....
Hyperkalemia is one of the most serious electrolyte disturbances, and it can cause lethal cardiac arrhythmia. Although hyperkalemia associated with ileostomies has been reported in adults, to the best...
We report ileostomy‒induced hyperkalemia that persisted during the ileostomy and resolved promptly after the closure of the ileostomy in two extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants, with birth weigh...
These cases highlight that disruption of intestinal integrity in ELBW infants may cause hyperkalemia. Ensuring the integrity of the gastrointestinal tract plays an important role in the treatment of e...
While hyperkalemia is well described in adult chronic kidney disease (CKD), large studies evaluating potassium trends and risk factors for hyperkalemia in pediatric CKD are lacking. This study aimed t...
Cross-sectional analysis of Chronic Kidney Disease in Children (CKiD) study data evaluated median potassium levels and percentage of visits with hyperkalemia (K ≥5.5 mmoL/L) in relation to demographic...
One thousand and fifty CKiD participants with 5183 visits were included (mean age 13.1 years, 62.7% male, 32.9% self-identifying as African American or Hispanic). A percentage of 76.6% had non-glomeru...
Hyperkalemia was observed more frequently in children with advanced stage CKD, glomerular disease, low CO...
Hyperkalemia (HK) is common and potentially a life-threatening condition. If untreated, HK can progress to ventricular arrhythmia and cardiac arrest. Early treatment reduces mortality in HK. This stud...
This was a retrospective, observational chart review of a single, large, suburban Emergency Medical Services (EMS) system. Patients treated for presumed HK, with both a clinical concern for HK and ele...
A total of 582 patients were treated for HK, of which 533 patients were excluded due to cardiac arrest prior to EMS arrival. The remaining 48 patients included in the analysis had a mean age of 56 (SD...
The study evaluated a novel protocol for detecting and managing HK in the prehospital setting. It is feasible for EMS crews to administer this protocol, although a larger study is needed to make the r...
The cause of hyperkalemia is frequently iatrogenic. Patient's prescriptions should therefore be checked in the analysis of the hyperkalemia. Low-molecular-weight heparin is not often suspected to caus...
A 64-year-old man, hospitalized because of a complicated clinical course of pancreatitis, developed an acute severe hyperkalemia. Further analysis was susceptive for hypoaldosteronism, which was confi...
In the diagnostic work-up of hyperkalemia, hypoaldosteronism should be considered in patients using LMWH. In particular when other risk factors for hyperkalemia are present, monitoring of potassium co...
Severe hyperkalemia is a common and life-threatening problem presenting to the emergency department. Rapid correction of the electrolyte abnormality is essential but doing so can be detrimental in cir...
An elderly woman with long-standing but untreated chronic lymphocytic leukemia presented with a left hip fracture. She was found to have a potassium level of 8.4 mEq/L without symptoms of hyperkalemia...
Pseudohyperkalemia can occur in the setting of severe leukocytosis. It is important for emergency physicians to recognize this phenomenon and avoid iatrogenic hypokalemia. The pathophysiology behind t...
Hyperkalemia is one of the more common acute life-threatening metabolic emergencies. The aim of our study is to determine the correlation and accuracy of abnormal ECG parameters as a function of serum...
