Overview

Hyperkalemia develops when blood potassium levels are more than 5.1 meq/L. Hyperkalemia can be classified based on the potassium levels, duration of onset and the cause of hyperkalemia.

Classification

Hyperkalemia classification type Characterestics
Based on potassium levels Mild
Potassium levels between 5.1-6.0 mEq/L.
Moderate
Potassium levels between 6.1-7.0 mEq/L.
Severe
Potassium levels more than 7.0 mEq/L.
Based on the duration Hyperacute
  • Develops in a few hours
  • Usually due to tissue breakdown
  • Or due to parenteral potassium supplement.
Acute
Chronic
