Disorder of potassium balance—both hypo- and hyperkalemia—is a common finding in the ICU. These abnormalities might be subtle requiring minimal intervention or life-threatening requiring urgent measures. A methodological approach is warranted to manage this problem.

Hyperkalemia in the Hypertensive Patient
Current Cardiology Reports, 2018Hyperkalemia develops in a patient with systemic arterial hypertension (HTN) if one or more risk factors are present, namely chronic kidney disease (CKD) (especially severe stage 4-5 CKD), diabetes mellitus (DM), heart failure (HF), or pharmacological therapies that interfere with potassium homeostasis, mainly through renin-angiotensin-aldosterone ...

Southern Medical Journal, 2005
Hyperkalemia is a potentially fatal condition and is defined by a serum potassium level (K+) of greater than 5.5 mmol/L. The associated prevalence of cardiac arrhythmia increases directly with the degree of hyperkalemia. The danger in the majority of hyperkalemia cases is cardiac dysrhythmia, and often ventricular fibrillation or asystole is the ...

Hyperkalemia and the electrocardiogram in dogs
Basic Research in Cardiology, 1988Rapid i.v. injection of 2 ml KCl solution with 0.1 mmol/kg abruptly doubles the basal concentration of coronary artery serum K and produces no ECG change; 2 ml with 0.3 mmol KCl/kg quadruples it and provokes fibrillation of the ventricular myocardium in 18 s, there is no visible effect on atrial activity. Continuous infusion of 2 mEq KCl/kg body weight

The Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2004
u t t b 45-year-old woman had a syncopal episode while reparing for some appointments. The episode was decribed as a gentle “easing down”; the patient’s husband aught her before she hit anything. She did not have any ead trauma. The past medical history was notable for ecently diagnosed carcinoma of the head of the panreas, for which she underwent ...

Hyperkalemia Associated With Indomethacin
Archives of Internal Medicine, 1981Substantial hyperkalemia with ECG abnormalities developed in a patient. None of the common causes of hyperkalemia was found, eg, acidosis, hemolysis, rhabdomyolysis, renal failure, hypoadrenalism, leukocytosis, or thrombocytosis. The patient had been receiving indomethacin, a drug known to inhibit renin production, aldosterone excretion, and ...

Controversies in Management of Hyperkalemia
The Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2018Hyperkalemia is a common electrolyte disorder that can result in morbidity and mortality if not managed appropriately.This review evaluates the classic treatments of hyperkalemia and discusses controversies and new medications for management.Potassium (K+) plays a key role in determining the transmembrane potentials of "excitable membranes" present in ...

Octreotide‐Induced Hyperkalemia
Pharmacotherapy: The Journal of Human Pharmacology and Drug Therapy, 1994A 68‐year‐old woman was admitted with numerous injuries after being hit by an automobile. On day 16 of hospitalization octreotide was started for treatment of a pancreatic fistula, and within 2 days the patient's serum potassium increased. By the third and fourth days of octreotide therapy the level had increased to the point at which it required ...

Hyperkalemia in Diabetic Ketoacidosis
The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 1990Patients with diabetic ketoacidosis tend to have somewhat elevated serum K+ concentrations despite decreased body K+ content. The hyperkalemia was previously attributed mainly to acidemia. However, recent studies have suggested that "organic acidemias" (such as that produced by infusing beta-hydroxybutyric acid) may not cause hyperkalemia.
