  • Title: Hyperchloraemic metabolic acidosis.
    Author: Fan FS, Chow KM, Szeto CC, Li PK.
    Journal: Emerg Med J; 2008 Sep; 25(9):613. PubMed ID: 18723724.
    Abstract:
    Cholestyramine carries a risk of hyperchloraemic metabolic acidosis. Being cognisant of this drug-induced adverse event may reduce diagnostic delays. Emergency physicians should be alert about this condition, in particular among patients with pre-existing chronic kidney disease, or who are taking spironolactone.
