  • Title: Hyperkalemia in hemodialysis patients.
    Author: Pani A, Floris M, Rosner MH, Ronco C.
    Journal: Semin Dial; 2014; 27(6):571-6. PubMed ID: 25039770.
    Abstract:
    Hyperkalemia contributes significantly to high mortality among ESRD patients. Excess intake and inadequate removal are the most common etiologies in HD patients. Although dialysis is the definitive treatment, classical medical therapy must be employed as a temporizing measure to acutely lower serum potassium. Reducing potassium intake through dietetic/nutritional support is critical to reducing the K+ load in ESRD patients and preventing this condition.
