12.31 Emergent management of hyperkalemia Essentials of Diagnosis Serum potassium level > 5.0 mmol/L Causes: patients taking ACE inhibitors, angiotensin-receptor blockers, potassium-sparing diuretics, or their combination, even with no or only mild kidney dysfunction. ECG: peaked T waves, widened QRS and biphasic QRS–T complexes, or may be normal despite life-threatening hyperkalemia. Measurement of plasma potassium level differentiates potassium leak from blood cells in cases of clotting, leukocytosis, and thrombocytosis from elevated serum potassium. Rule out extracellular potassium shift from the cells in acidosis and assess renal potassium excretion.
