Overview

There are no echocardiography/ultrasound findings associated with [Hyperkalemia].However depending on the cause of hyperkalemia ultrasound findings of the particular cause might be present.

Echocardiography/Ultrasound

Renal causes

In chronic kidney diseases USG findings are;i

reduced renal cortical thickness <6 mm ⁶
- more reliable than length ⁷
reduced renal length
increased renal cortical echogenicity
poor visibility of the renal pyramids and the renal sinus
marginal irregularities
papillary calcifications
cysts (see also: acquired cystic kidney disease)

Echocardiography findings may be present in cases of heart failure
