Pseudohyperkalemia, or factitious hyperkalemia, constitutes an artificially high plasma potassium level (P(K)) from a variety of possible causes. Occasionally, the cause cannot be elucidated. Three patients who showed unusually large differences between free-flowing and tourniquet (stasis) potassium levels prompted us to investigate the influence of ...

Schweizerische Rundschau fur Medizin Praxis = Revue suisse de medecine Praxis, 1991
In two cases with drug-related hyperkalemia, potassium homeostasis, causes, symptoms and therapy are discussed. Iatrogenic and therefore avoidable hyperkalemia occurs most often when potassium, ACE-inhibitors, nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs or potassium-sparing diuretics are administered in patients with impaired renal function or diabetes ...

Pediatrics In Review, 1996
Potassium is the major intracellular cation; only a very small fraction of total body potassium is in the intravascular space. Increased potassium concentration in serum is infrequent in pediatrics, but it can be life-threatening because of its effect on membrane potentials, particularly of heart muscle. The serum potassium concentration

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 ...

Heparin sodium is an extremely useful medication with demonstrated benefit in a number of clinical settings. Physicians need to be aware of the potential complication of hyperkalemia, especially in patients with renal insufficiency or diabetes mellitus. Discontinuation of heparin therapy is necessary to reverse the suppression of aldosterone.

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 most cases some level of kidney failure is present. The management of hyperkalemia depends on the underlying cause and the level of potassium.
