MANAGEMENT OF SEVERE HYPERKALEMIA

Management of hyperkalemia in dialysis patients.

Hyperkalemia is common in patients with end-stage renal disease, and may result in serious electrocardiographic abnormalities. Dialysis is the definitive treatment of hyperkalemia in these patients.

Despite their widespread use, neith...
