"The clinical implication of this finding is that among those that present with hyperkalemia it’s important to lower the potassium level to just the ‘right’ amount—between 4.1 and 5.5 mmol/L—and not ...

A new trial investigating high-normal serum potassium levels for people at high risk of ventricular arrhythmias delivered promising results. Compared to a control group, people with these elevated ...

Low to low-normal serum potassium concentrations were associated with worse survival, investigators also reported. In patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) transitioning to dialysis, ...

This prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial published in the American Journal of Kidney Diseases (AJKD) demonstrated that, compared with a reactive strategy of potassium supplementation ...

Targeting high-normal potassium levels reduced the risk of arrhythmias, hospitalization for heart failure or arrhythmia and death compared with no intervention, according to late-breaking research ...
