Hyperkalemia in Clinical Practice, an Important Reminder of Testing Modality

Clinical Case Reports
We describe a patient with hyperkalemia and ECG changes with persistent mild hyperkalemia without ECG changes following treatment. Their hyperkalemia was confounded by the presence of true hyperkalemia due to an acute kidney injury and pseudohyperkalemia

Sodium zirconium cyclosilicate compared with potassium restriction for hyperkalemia management in type 2 diabetes: The SILVERSTAR trial

Journal of Diabetes Investigation, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims/Introduction To demonstrate noninferiority of continued sodium zirconium cyclosilicate therapy versus a potassium‐restricted diet in achieving normokalemia at Visit 7 (Days 28–42) in individuals with type 2 diabetes and hyperkalemia, using a noninferiority margin of −10 percentage points (one‐sided α = 0.025).

Pseudohyperkalemia Revisited: An Updated Review of a Foremost Preanalytical Error of Serum or Plasma Potassium Measurement in the Clinical Laboratory

Nigerian Journal of Medicine
Background: Potassium is one of the most abundant cations in the human body. Increased plasma potassium concentration (hyperkalemia) is one of the most common electrolyte abnormalities in contemporary clinical practice.

Optimizing Pneumocystis jirovecii Prophylaxis in Immunocompromised Patients: Defining the Clinical Role of Atovaquone

Transplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
In a retrospective cohort study of 149 patients receiving atovaquone for PJP prophylaxis, increased usage was related to broader indications, uptake in new patient groups, difficulty tolerating or accessing alternatives, and longer durations used per patient.

Serum Electrolyte Changes in Foals Receiving Rhodococcus equi–Specific Hyperimmune Plasma

Journal of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Rhodococcus equi–specific hyperimmune plasma (Re‐HIP) is routinely administered to neonatal foals to help prevent rhodococcal pneumonia. In addition to pathogen‐specific immunoglobulins, frozen plasma products (FPPs) contain electrolytes that may exceed concentrations found in neonatal foal plasma.

Hyperkalemia in the tropics: multiple causes and a not so common presentation—a case report

The Egyptian Journal of Internal Medicine
Background Hyperkalemia is an electrolyte abnormality with potentially life-threatening consequences. But all cases of hyperkalemia need not be symptomatic either.

Outcomes in Older Inpatients with Hyperkalemia: A Follow-up Observational Study

Journal of the Indian Academy of Geriatrics
Objectives: Hyperkalemia is a common electrolyte disturbance encountered in hospitalized older patients secondary to age-related physiological changes in the kidneys, multiple comorbidities, and the burden of multiple medication usage. Metabolic acidosis,
