Hyperkalemia in chronic kidney disease

Abstract: SUMMARY Hyperkalemia is a frequent finding in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). This increase in serum potassium levels is associated with decreased renal ion excretion, as well as the use of medications to reduce the progression of CKD or to control associated diseases such as diabetes mellitus and heart failure. Hyperkalemia increases the risk of cardiac arrhythmia episodes and sudden death. Thus, the control of potassium elevation is essential for reducing the mortality rate in this population.

“…This model does not take into consideration additional negative health consequences of potassium reformulated salt, for example the risk of hyperkalaemia in people with advanced kidney disease or diabetes [54]. On balance however, the model does not take into consideration the known bene cial effect of potassium on blood pressure in the general population [55] nor does it consider the lowered risk of stomach cancer [56].…”

“…The cost of care in Vietnam also varies greatly on factors such as geographical location [53], and as the costing studies used in this model are generally from hospitals in major urban cities the cost may not be representative of the true cost of stroke and IHD treatment in nonurban areas in Vietnam. This model does not take into consideration additional negative health consequences of potassium reformulated salt, for example the risk of hyperkalaemia in people with advanced kidney disease or diabetes [54]. On balance however, the model does not take into consideration the known bene cial effect of potassium on blood pressure in the general population [55] nor does it consider the lowered risk of stomach cancer [56].…”

“…Limitation of potassium level out of the normal level is classified into three categories, mild potassium level with 5.0 to 5.9 mmol/L, moderate with 6.0 to 6.4 mmol/L, and severe with not less than 6.5 mmol/L accompanied by experienced clinical symptoms by the patient including muscle weakness, paresthesia, paralysis, nausea, shortness of breath, hypotension, and cardiac arrhythmias. Hence, in aiming to suppress the hyperkalemia effect from antihypertensive drug interaction in CKD patients, several monitoring activities are needed to be conducted, including monitoring potassium levels regularly up to 2 weeks after antihypertensive drug dosage adjustment, monitoring kidney function, and also monitoring of heart function in hyperkalemia patients with abnormalities found on the electrocardiogram examination results (Watanabe, 2020).…”

“…Potassium is the most abundant intracellular ion with a concentration of about 98%; it has many biological functions such as cellular metabolism and acid-base homeostasis [74]. It is also vital for cardiac function, neural transmission, muscular contractions, and glucose metabolism [76].…”

“…Hyperkalemia is a severe metabolic condition that is often experienced in patients with CKD. The kidneys' ability to excrete potassium is inversely related to a decline in GFR [74]. Hyperkalemia alters the nervous system's mechanisms causing electrophysiological dysfunctions [76], presenting clinical manifestations such as muscle weakness, paresthesia, paralysis, nausea, hypotension, cardiac arrhythmias, and cardiac arrest [76].…”
