  • Title: Pseudohyperkalemia and Pseudohyponatremia in Two Children with T-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.
    Author: Ghersin Z, Fernandes ND, Winkler A, Yager P.
    Journal: J Pediatr; 2021 May; 232():294-298. PubMed ID: 33493492.
    Abstract:
    Pseudohyperkalemia and pseudohyponatremia are phenomena in which hematologic disorders with high cell counts result in factitious electrolyte measurements that can result in inappropriate treatment. We describe 2 children with leukemia presenting with both disturbances to highlight the importance of correlating electrolyte results from plasma with those from whole blood before intervening.
