1 Disclosure Michael C. Thomas reports no relevant financial relationships. Lytes Off in Vegas! The Acute Management of Potassium and Calcium Disorders Program Objectives Design a plan to replace and monitor potassium Recommend a comprehensive treatment approach for the patient with hyperkalemia Incorporate knowledge about treatments for calcium disorders d into the therapeutic ti plan for a patient t Hyperkalemia Protect, Shift, and Eliminate Michael C. Thomas, Pharm.D., BCPS Associate Professor South University School of Pharmacy Savannah, GA Session Objectives Identify severe hyperkalemia using laboratory studies and signs/symptoms Design an initial treatment plan to decrease serum potassium Summarize the supporting evidence from clinical i l trials Case CC: LV is a 68-year-old woman (80kg) presented to the ED with weakness HPI: Weakness progressed over several days. Sx started after she started SMX/TMP for a UTI PMH: HTN x 15 years, CKD Stage 3, DM, GERD, OA Medications PTA: lisinopril (new 2 weeks ago), amlodipine, glimepiride, famotidine, celecoxib, aspirin, SMX/TMP (day 3 of 7) Page 1 of 6

2 Case, contd. Talk About It ROS: Per HPI PE: Bilateral weakness 3/5 LE, 4/5 UE ECG: Peaked T waves, prolonged PR, HR 35 Turn to someone next to you and answer the following questions: What are the causes of hyperkalemia in LV? What therapeutic interventions would your recommend if consulted? 133 meq/l 99 meq/l 68 mg/dl 8.4 meq/l 21 meq/l 3.4 mg/dl 157 mg/dl Which of the following likely contributed to hyperkalemia in this case? A. Sulfamethoxazole/Trimethoprim B. Pseudohyperkalemia (RBC hemolysis) C. Acidosis D. Urinary tract infection Renal Failure Causes of Hyperkalemia Endocrine Acidosis Excessive Intake Drugs Hyperkalemia Hemolysis Alfonzo AVM, et al. Resuscitation 2006;70:10 25.; Acker CG, et al. Arch Intern Med 1998;158: Case Causes Medications Lisinopril, celecoxib, sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim Renal function Stage 3 CKD ClCr ~20mL/min Which of the following likely contributed to hyperkalemia in this case?
