Hyperkalaemia in diabetes: prevalence and associations.
Hyperkalaemia is associated with diabetes, but there are no recent reports of its prevalence and associations.

Glucagon, in the setting of absolute or relative insulin deficiency, is thought to contribute to the pathogenesis of hyperglycaemia in diabetes, but much of the evidence is extrapolated from short-term studies to the long-term condition. In the present issue of Clinical Science, Li and co-workers report that infusion of glucagon raised fasting plasma glucose concentrations and impaired glucose ...
متن کاملHyperkalaemia.
Hyperkalaemia is defined as serum potassium concentration greater than 5.5 mmol/l. Its prevalence in the general population is unknown, but it is thought to occur in 1-10% of patients admitted to hospital.1 The rate of morbidity and mortality associated with hyperkalaemia has risen greatly with the use of drugs that target the renin-angiotensin system, and since publication 10 years ago of a ra...
متن کاملHyperkalaemia in diabetes mellitus--potential hazards of coexisting hyporeninaemic hypoaldosteronism.
Two patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (Type I), developed severe, life-threatening hyperkalaemia, the first following treatment with spironolactone, the second during treatment for staphylococcal septicaemia when glucose-induced hyperkalaemia occurred. Investigations demonstrated co-existing hyporeininaemic hypoaldosteronism. Prompt recognition of this combined hormone-deficienc...
