Hyperkalemia guidelines for patients.
When you have kidney disease, your kidneys cannot remove excess potassium and too much potassium may remain in your blood. High potassium or hyperkalemia is a serious condition that can be life-threatening. If you are diagnosed with chronic kidney disease, you may be at higher risk for high potassium levels. These guidelines, developed by kidney disease experts, are designed to help you work with your healthcare team to manage and treat your high potassium levels.
