Overview
The kidneys normally remove excess potassium from the body. Most cases of hyperkalemia are caused by 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 caused by disorders that reduce the kidneys' ability to get rid of potassium.
Common risk factors
- Acute kidney failure
- Chronic kidney failure
- Glomerulonephritis
- Obstructive uropathy
- Rejection of a kidney transplant
- Addisons disease
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
- Increased intake of potassium
- Medications,(potassium sparing diuretics, such as spironolactone, amiloride, or triamterene) and potassium supplements (especially intravenous potassium).
