Cyclosporine-associated hyperkalemia: report of four allogeneic blood stem-cell transplant cases

Abstract: This report of four cases demonstrates that CsA should be considered among the possible causes of hyperkalemia in bone marrow transplantation. There may be a need for urgent intervention depending on the severity of hyperkalemia. Monitoring of blood CsA level and dose adjustment are important for the prevention of this complication.

“…50 Hyperkalemia in the setting of normal renal function can occur and is most likely caused by tubular dysfunction and secondary hypoaldosteronism. 155 If fluid intake and a low potassium diet do not restore normal serum potassium levels, dose reduction is necessary. 50 Increased levels of serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) have been reported in up to 8% of psoriasis patients undergoing treatment, generally in the setting of normal liver function tests.…”

“…1,2 Acute GVHD can cause various metabolic derangements because it requires systemic Table 3 Nonrelapse mortality at post-transplant day 100 and 5-year overall survival according to the occurrence of grades III-IV metabolic abnormalities immunosuppressive treatments, which may be complicated by gastrointestinal symptoms or severe infections. Cyclosporine and tacrolimus, the most widely used immunosuppressants for the prophylaxis and treatment of GVHD, have been associated with hyperkalemia, 3,4,13,14 hyperglycemia, 3,4,15,16 hypomagnesemia, [17][18][19] and hypertriglyceridemia 20,21 in HCT recipients. Glucocorticoid, another frequently used immunosuppressant for GVHD, also causes hyperglycemia.…”

“…Uno de los hallazgos más significativos relativos a la nefrotoxicidad por CsA en clínica humana, relacionada con potenciales efectos tubulares distintos de los efectos descritos a nivel proximal, es la aparición precoz de hiperpotasemia, acompañada o no de acidosis, con bajas excreciones urinarias de K + . Cuando la hiperpotasemia acompaña a una reducción en el FG de pacientes trasplantados sometidos a tratamiento con CsA, suele considerarse como un signo altamente sugestivo de toxicidad por CsA 16 . Después de 15 días de tratamiento con CsA, no observamos cambios en el K + plasmático, pero la excreción media de K + fue próxi-ma a la mitad.…”
