  • Title: [Iatrogenic hyperkalemia].
    Author: Krapf R.
    Journal: Schweiz Med Wochenschr; 1996 Apr 13; 126(15):626-31. PubMed ID: 8668977.
    Abstract:
    Iatrogenic causes are important contributors to hyperkalemia in clinical practice. Most iatrogenic causes are drug-related, involving interference by the drugs with potassium metabolism at the level of renal handling and/or transcellular distribution of potassium. By discussion of the mechanisms of iatrogenic hyperkalemia it is hoped that the incidence of this potentially serious complication can be reduced.
