Hyperkalemia Drug Again Linked to Adverse GI Events
Sodium polystyrene sulfonate initiation was associated with an increased risk of both severe and minor gastrointestinal events compared with nonuse.

Hyponatremia With Hyperkalemia Worsens AKI Outcomes
Patients with AKI in the intensive care unit who had low serum sodium accompanied by high serum potassium at hospital admission had a 45% increased risk of 90-day mortality, a study found.
‘Beyond Bananas’ Campaign Aims to Improve Hyperkalemia Management
Kidney disease patients associate bananas with potassium, but they need more practical information to manage hyperkalemia.
Roxadustat Effective in Correcting Anemia in Nondialysis CKD and Dialysis
In separate studies, roxadustat showed superiority over placebo at increasing hemoglobin in patients with CKD anemia and demonstrated noninferiority to epoetin in treating anemia in dialysis patients.
Study: Monitor Potassium in CKD Patients Taking Sofosbuvir
This is the first study examining serum potassium levels in CKD patients treated with sofosbuvir, according to investigators.
NSAID Use May Up AKI, Hyperkalemia Risk in Older Adults
In a study, older adult NSAID users had significant 41% and 50% increased odds of AKI and hyperkalemia, respectively, compared with nonusers.
Esaxerenone Improves Microalbuminuria in Type 2 Diabetes
In a phase 2 study of patients with early diabetic nephropathy, esaxerenone decreased microalbuminuria in a dose-dependent manner over 12 weeks compared with placebo.
Preoperative Potassium Predicts Hyperkalemia Post-Parathyroidectomy
In a study of hemodialysis patients, pre-operative potassium higher than 3.9 mmol/L correlated with greater risk for hyperkalemia after parathyroidectomy.
Sodium Zirconium Cyclosilicate Effectively Treats Hyperkalemia in HD
In the DIALIZE trial, 41.2% of hemodialysis patients taking sodium zirconium cyclosilicate maintained normal potassium levels during the long interdialytic interval compared with just 1% receiving placebo.
Researchers Identify Factors Associated With Hyperkalemia in CKD
In a study of chronic kidney disease patients not on dialysis, hyperkalemia developed in more women than men.
