Rethinking Hyperkalemia to Optimise RASSi Therapy26 January 2022
Hyperkalemia is a frequent and recurrent event in patients with heart failure, chronic kidney disease and diabetes, especially in those with multiple comorbidities and/or treated with RASSi therapy. Hyperkalemia is associated with worse patient outcomes. Treatment guidelines recommend RASSi therapy to improve patient outcomes. However, they often also recommend decreasing or discontinuing RASSi therapy in the presence of hyperkalemia. Re-challenging with RASSi therapy does not consistently occur following reduction or discontinuation. Recent heart failure consensus statements and diabetic management in chronic kidney disease guidelines recommend managing hyperkalemia, including the use of novel potassium binder, so patients can remain on RASSi therapy.
