==Overview==
==Overview==
[[Hyperkalemia]] is an elevated [[blood]] level (above 5.0 mmol/L) of the [[electrolyte]] [[potassium]]. The prefix ''hyper-'' means high (contrast with ''hypo-'', meaning low).  The middle ''kal'' refers to ''kalium'', which is [[Latin]] for [[potassium]].  The end portion of the word, ''-emia'', means "in the blood". Extreme degrees of [[hyperkalemia]] are considered a [[medical emergency]] due to the risk of potentially fatal [[arrhythmia]]s.
[[Hyperkalemia]] is an elevated [[blood]] level (above 5.1 mmol/L) of the [[electrolyte]] [[potassium]]. ". Extreme degrees of [[hyperkalemia]] are considered a [[medical emergency]] due to the risk of potentially fatal [[arrhythmia]]s. Hyperkalemia can be caused by reasons that include increased uptake, [[extracellular]] shift, tissue breakdown and impaired excretion from the [[body]].

===Life Threatening Causes===
===Life Threatening Causes===
Hyperkalemia is a life-threatening condition and must be treated as such irrespective of the causes. Life-threatening conditions may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated.
*Hyperkalemia can become a life-threatening condition if potassium levels are too high and body is not able to remove it effectively.

Overview

Hyperkalemia is an elevated blood level (above 5.1 mmol/L) of the electrolyte potassium. ". Extreme degrees of hyperkalemia are considered a medical emergency due to the risk of potentially fatal arrhythmias. Hyperkalemia can be caused by reasons that include increased uptake, extracellular shift, tissue breakdown and impaired excretion from the body.
