  • Title: SPURIOUS HYPERKALAEMIA.
    Author: WILLS MR, FRASER ID.
    Journal: J Clin Pathol; 1964 Nov; 17(6):649-50. PubMed ID: 14227434.
    Abstract:
    In a patient with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, the plasma was found to have a potassium level of 10.4 mEq./1. Investigations showed that plasma from patients with leukaemia may be found to have falsely high potassium levels because of breakdown of leucocytes between the venepuncture and separation of the plasma.
