      Thus, one usually uses D5 ½ NS with 20-30 mEq K/l. The concentration of potassium should not ordinarily exceed 40 mEq/l (4 mEq/100 cc’s) nor should the rate of infusion of potassium be >0.5 mEq/Kg/hr. Potassium should never be added to IV fluid therapy unless one is sure that the patient is not in renal failure.

      Most commonly hyperkalaemia is due to medications so that the most common course of action is to withhold the likely drug and repeat potassium. The following drugs are common causes: ACE inhibitors, ARB’s, NSAID’s, Aspirin, K sparing diuretics, Beta blockers and K containing laxatives (Movicol and Fybogel).

    • Dialysis for Kidney Failure:

      Potassium – high levels suggest one is consuming too much potassium in one’s diet, low levels may follow diarrhea or vomiting, phosphorus must be in range or it may stop one’s heart. Sodium – high levels increase thirst (increase fluid consumption) and blood pressure, low levels suggest one is retaining too much fluid

      Also, the electrical gradient (difference in charge) across the plasma membrane tends to keep potassium inside the cell. Why does the sodium potassium pump require ATP? Imagine that a stimulus (light, heat, mechanical distortion, chemicals) causes some of the sodium channels to open and sodium ions move into the cell.
