Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [1]; Associate Editor(s)-In-Chief:==Overview== The majority of patients with [disease name] are asymptomatic.

OR

The hallmark of [disease name] is [finding]. A positive history of [finding 1] and [finding 2] is suggestive of [disease name]. The most common symptoms of [disease name] include [symptom 1], [symptom 2], and [symptom 3]. Common symptoms of [disease] include [symptom 1], [symptom 2], and [symptom 3]. Less common symptoms of [disease name] include [symptom 1], [symptom 2], and [symptom 3].

-Hyperkalemia often has no symptoms. Occasionally, people may have the following symptoms: irregular heartbeat, nausea, slow, weak, or absent pulse. Extreme degrees of hyperkalemia are considered a [[medical emergency]] due to the risk of potentially fatal [[arrhythmia]]s. A detailed history taking is very helpful in diagnosing the cause of hyperkalemia.

-* ''Dietary history'' (diets with low [[sodium]] and rich in [[potassium]])
-** Diets recommended for patients with [[cardiac disease]], [[hypertension]], and [[diabetes mellitus]]
-** Potassium supplements in herbal supplements, salt substitutes
-** Fruits, dried fruits, juices, banana and vegetables
-* ''Medications history'' (drugs causing a decreased excretion of potassium)

-** [[Angiotensin receptor blockers]] (potassium-sparing diuretics, especially popular in the treatment of [[cirrhosis]] and [[congestive heart failure]])

-** [[Renal failure]]
+Common symptoms of [disease] include:
-** [[Diabetes mellitus]]
+*[Symptom 1]
-** [[Sickle cell disease]] or trait
+*[Symptom 2]
-** [[Urinary tract obstruction]] - Type IV [[renal tubular acidosis]], also called hyperkalemic renal tubular acidosis. It can be seen with  [[polycystic kidney disease]], [[amyloidosis]] and diabetes mellitus.
+*[Symptom 3]
-** The combination of [[abdominal pain]], [[hypoglycemia]] and [[hyperpigmentation]], often in the context of a history of other [[Autoimmune diseases|autoimmune disorders]], may be signs of [[Addison's disease]], itself a medical emergency.
-==Symptoms==
+===Less Common Symptoms===
-[[Hyperkalemia]] often has no symptoms and the problem may be detected during screening [[blood test]]s for another medical disorder, or it may only come to medical attention after complications have developed, such as [[cardiac arrhythmia]] or [[Cardiac arrest|sudden death]]. Patients may present with the symptoms such as, irregular heartbeat, [[nausea]], slow, weak, or absent [[pulse]]. Extreme degrees of [[hyperkalemia]] are considered a [[medical emergency]] due to the risk of potentially fatal [[arrhythmias]]. Symptoms are fairly nonspecific and may include:
+Less common symptoms of [disease name] include
-* [[Malaise]]
+*[Symptom 1]
-* [[Palpitations]]
+*[Symptom 2]
-* [[Muscle weakness]]
+*[Symptom 3]
-* Mild breathlessness may indicate [[metabolic acidosis]], one of the settings in which hyperkalemia may occur.
