Management of Hyperkalemia in Dialysis Patients

Abstract: Hyperkalemia is common in patients with end-stage renal disease, and may result in serious electrocardiographic abnormalities. Dialysis is the definitive treatment of hyperkalemia in these patients. Intravenous calcium is used to stabilize the myocardium. Intravenous insulin and nebulized albuterol lower serum potassium acutely, by shifting it into the cells. Despite their widespread use, neither intravenous bicarbonate nor cation exchange resins are effective in lowering serum potassium acutely. Prevention of… Show more

“…It has been hypothesized that the increase in sudden death after the 3-d delay between outpatient dialysis events may have its source in high K ϩ levels accrued during this period (13). Physiologically, this is not unexpected given the importance of K ϩ in maintaining the heart's resting membrane potential as well as its conductivity (12). Although often cited as a likely contributing factor to cardiac arrhythmias in patients with ESRD, surprisingly little in the scientific literature has directly evaluated K ϩ and/or K ϩ shifts in the setting of AMI.…”

“…In the outpatient population, predialysis K ϩ levels, either too low or too high (Ͻ4 or Ͼ5.6), carry an increased risk for morbidity and/or mortality (11). Hyperkalemia in dialysis patients is a common problem seen in 5 to 10% of patients per month and accounting for a mortality rate of 3.1 per 1000 patient-years (12). It has been hypothesized that the increase in sudden death after the 3-d delay between outpatient dialysis events may have its source in high K ϩ levels accrued during this period (13).…”
