  • Title: [Pseudo-hyperkalemia and hyperleukocytosis].
    Author: Goubella A, Thooft A, Antoine P, Creteur J, Vincent JL.
    Journal: Rev Med Brux; 2013; 34(3):179-80. PubMed ID: 23951858.
    Abstract:
    A pseudo-hyperkalemia may occur with hyperleukocytosis. It is important to recognize it early to avoid unnecessary or even dangerous treatment inducing hypokalemia. The pseudohyperkalemia is due to cell fragility coupled to mechanical phenomena during blood collecting. We report a case of pseudo-hyperkalemia in a context of acute myeloid leukemia.
