“…Both the common soil and the clinical outcomes of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and HF are strong mandates for angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI), angiotensin II receptor antagonists (ARB), and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRA) in the setting of HF, collectively termed renin-angiotensin aldosterone system (RAAS) inhibition. In this issue of Nephron, Koratala et al [4] contend that “…RAAS inhibitor discontinuation rate due to hyperkalemia was reported to be as low as 0.1–3.4%, and there was no strong association reported between hyperkalemia and worse outcomes.” We believe this conclusion is based on a rather narrow view of the clinical literature on this topic.…”
