This study evaluates the management of subjects with Standard of Care (SOC) when admitted to the Emergency Department (ED) with hyperkalemia (potassium value ≥ 5.5 mmol/L). If the initial SOC potassium value is suspect, a second confirmatory SOC sample should be obtained and must be ≥ 5.5 mmol/L to
Background
Hyperkalemia affects up to 10% of patients suffering from chronic kidney failure and up to 42% of patients with an estimated glomerular filtration rate lower than 20 mL/min/1.73m2. There is currently limited evidence on the use of sodium polystyrene sulfonate for the treatment of mild
