Determinants of Hyperkalemia Progression Among Patients with Mild Hyperkalemia

The progression of mild hyperkalemia and the predictors of progression have not been well characterized. In this study we aimed to characterize the progression of hyperkalemia and identify the risk factors for hyperkalemia progression.Adults with mild hyperkalemia (at least one serum potassium measure > 5.0 and ≤ 5.5 mEq/L) were identified using electronic medical records from the Research Action for Health Network (2012-2018).
