Hyperkalemia – Market Outlook, Epidemiology, Competitive Landscape, and Market Forecast Report – 2023 To 2033

Hyperkalemia is one of the most common acute electrolyte abnormalities, and it usually triggers a heightened therapeutic response due to its potential for causing cardiac arrhythmias. In individuals with normal kidneys, hyperkalemia function occurs relatively infrequently, but it can be much more common in patients with certain predisposing conditions. The frequency of hyperkalemia may vary according to the case mix of the studied population. Indeed, studies examining patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have reported a significantly higher incidence of hyperkalemia. The principal predictors of higher serum potassium levels in cohort studies were the presence of diabetes mellitus, higher protein intake, lower serum bicarbonate, white race, and, most importantly, lower eGFR, and patients at highest risk are those in whom there is a clustering of several risk factors. · The prevalence of hyperkalemia in CKD patients is considerably higher...
