Fix it
This drug very frequently makes ESRD patients hypoglycemic
Insulin
This drug can cause hyperkalemia by decreasing Beta 2 driven potassium uptake
Beta Blocker
This many Meq of K are in 1 cup of Soy Milk
9 Meq [Accept 4-14]
This condition can cause "hyperkalemia" via the release of potassium from WBCs
Leukemia
Corticosteroids are effective in treating hyperkalemia in this condition
Addison's disease (primary adrenal insufficiency)
This drug causes Colon Necrosis
Kayexalate
This drug can cause hyperkalemia by blocking amiloride-sensitive sodium channels in the cortical collecting duct
Bactrim
This many Meq of K are in 1 Banana
12 Meq [accept 7-17]
This condition can cause "hyperkalemia" via the release of potassium from platelets
Thrombocytosis
Doing this will result in Hyperkalemia as K+ exits cells via temperature-dependent K+ channels
Rewarming
This K binder can be used even in colectomy patients
Lokelma
This drug can cause hyperkalemia by suppressing adrenal aldosterone production and isn't an ACE inhibitor
Heparin
This many Meq of K are in 1 cup of Orange Juice
15 Meq [accept 10-20]
"Hyperkalemia" occurs when drawing blood with tourniquet and/or clenched fist due to this phenomena
Hemolysis [or Muscle Release]
This condition is the most common complication after a parathyroidectomy [when done as treatment for hyperparathyroidism]
Hungry Bone syndrome - Hypocalcemia and Hyperkalemia
This K binder lowers Mag levels too
Patiromer
This drug can cause hyperkalemia by depolarizing cell membranes
Succinylcholine
This many Meq of K are in 1 Potato
24 Meq [19-29]
This rare genetic disorder presents with hyperkalemia and hypertension despite normal kidney function, mimicking aldosterone deficiency.
Gordon syndrome (Pseudohypoaldosteronism Type II )
This 10th floor CCD condition can cause hyperkalemia, hyperuricemia, hyperphosphatemia and hypocalclemia
Tumor lysis syndrome
There's a national shortage of albuterol. Your patient is anuric ESRD, severely hypoglycemic and has a Bowel perf. THIS drug can still be used to lower K.
Subq Terbutaline
This drug can cause hyperkalemia by decreasing Na/K ATPase activity
Digoxin
This many Meq of K are in 1 Avocado
40 Meq [accept 35-45]
This "hyperkalemia" condition occurs when RBCs leak potassium when stored at lower temperatures
Familial Pseudohyperkalemia
This rare genetic disorder causes episodes of muscle weakness or paralysis triggered by potassium-rich foods or rest after exercise.
hyperkalemic periodic paralysis
