Oveview

Electrocardiogram findings associated with renal tubular acidosis include changes due to potassium levels. Peaked T waves are the earliest sign of hyperkalemia. where as hypokalemia presents with ST segment depression, decreased T wave amplitude, and prominent U waves.

Electrocardiogram

Electrocardiogram changes in renal tubular acidosis is associated with potassium changes.

Hyperkalemia

EKG findings of hyperkalemia associated with renal tubular acidosis include:

  • Interventricular Conduction Delay
    • It is observed when K > 6.5 meq/L
    • Interventricular conduction delay is reflected by QRS widening that are inconsistent with LBBB or RBBB.
  • Sinus Arrest with Accelerated Junctional Rhythm[3][4][2]
  • Ventricular fibrillation

Hypokalemia

EKG findings of hypokalemia associated with renal tubular acidosis include:
