Trimethoprim-Sulfamethoxazole vs Amoxicillin Ups Hyperkalemia Risk
Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole is mostly excreted through the kidneys, and it can cause hyperkalemia by reducing potassium excretion.
Hyperkalemia
Sodium Zirconium Cyclosilicate Reduces Tacrolimus Absorption
Tacrolimus exposure was reduced by approximately one-third when it was co-administered with the potassium binder sodium zirconium cyclosilicate, investigators reported.
Continuing ACE Inhibitors Despite Potassium Change Can Have Benefits
Stopping renin-angiotensin-aldosterone inhibitors after hyperkalemia may offset their potential clinical benefits, according to investigators.
Patiromer Use for Acute Hyperkalemia Characterized
Investigators report a low incidence of hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia after a single dose of patiromer monotherapy.
Potassium Binder Use Long Term Linked With Better Outcomes
Potassium binders historically have been used short term or intermittently.
RAAS Inhibitor Discontinuation After Hyperkalemia Tied to Adverse Outcomes
Discontinuation of RAAS inhibitors is often the first approach to manage hyperkalemia.
Hyperkalemia Is a Strong Risk Factor for Early Death in Stage 5 CKD
New findings have important implications in the new era where delaying dialysis initiation is a priority goal by means of continued conservative management of hyperkalemia, according to investigators.
SPS, Patiromer Lower Serum Potassium in Hemodialysis
Both potassium binders effectively lowered serum potassium levels in patients on hemodialysis meeting hyperkalemia definitions, compared with no treatment, investigators reported.
Nomogram Predicts Hyperkalemia in Patients With CKD
Patients with a high risk of hyperkalemia according to the nomogram need timely and continuous monitoring of serum potassium, the investigators stated.
Potassium Binders for Hyperkalemia in CKD Compared, Characterized
Each of the 4 potassium binders that were compared in a study had advantages and disadvantages, investigators reported.
