  • AKI, CKD, diabetes

    Which patients are most at risk for hyperkalemia? (3)

  • ACEi, ARB, NSAIDs, K+ sparing

    Which drugs can cause hyperkalemia? (4)

  • >7

    Severe hyperkalemia?

  • 5.1-5.9

    Mild hyperkalemia?

  • 6-7

    Moderate hyperkalemia?

  • increased K+ intake, decreased excretion, tubular unresponsiveness to aldosterone, redistribution of K+ into extracellular space

    What are the 4 primary causes of hyperkalemia?

  • administer ca- protect the heart, administer insulin-hide K+ in cells, eliminate K+-diuretic

    How do we treat hyperkalemia? (3)

  • insulin, sodium bicarbonate, nebulized albuterol

    Which medications can we use to shift potassium to the intracellular spaces? (3)

  • furosemide, sodium polystyrene sulfonate

    Which medications can we use to promote potassium excretion?

  • colonic necrosis

    - caused by ischemia i.e. poor blood flow to the colon

  • sodium polystyrene sulfonate

    Which medication can cause colonic necrosis?

  • heart palpitations, skipped beats, ECG changes

    What are signs/symptoms of hyperkalemia? (3)

  • true

    Hyperkalemia is usually asymptomatic. T/F?
