Overview
The kidneys normally remove excess potassium from the body. Most cases of hyperkalemia occur in disorders that reduce the kidneys' ability to get rid of potassium. This may result from disorders such as acute kidney failure, chronic kidney failure and glomerulonephritis.
Risk Factors
- The kidneys normally remove excess potassium from the body.
- Most cases of hyperkalemia are due to disorders that reduce the kidneys' ability to get rid of potassium.[1][2]
Common risk factors
- The most common risk factors for hyperkalmeia include:
Less common risk factors
- Burns
- Disorders that cause blood cells to burst (hemolytic conditions)
- Gastrointestinal bleeding
- Rhabdomyolysis from drugs, alcoholism, coma, or certain infections
- Surgery
- Traumatic injury
- Tumors
- Acidosis
- Medications
- spironolactone
- amiloride
- triamterene) and
- Potassium supplements (especially intravenous potassium).
