Serum potassium and adverse outcomes across the range of kidney function: a CKD Prognosis Consortium meta-analysis

Both hypo- and hyperkalaemia can have immediate deleterious physiological effects, and less is known about long-term risks. The objective was to determine the risks of all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, and end-stage renal disease associated with potassium levels across the range of kidney function and evaluate for consistency across cohorts in a global consortium. We performed an individual-level data meta-analysis of 27...
