“…Hyperkalemia is common in SCD due to (1) increased hemolysis, (2) impaired distal tubular function, and (3) management of albuminuria with RAAS inhibitors. Additionally, patients with SCD manifest hyperkalemia at higher eGFR levels than the general population [128]. General KDIGO hyperkalemia guidelines recommend potassium dietary restriction, discontinuation of medications elevating potassium levels, use of potassium-wasting diuretics, use of potassium binders (patiromer, zirconium cyclosilicate), and low potassium dialyzate in dialysis-dependent patients [129].…”
