The study revealed a prevalence of hyperkalemia in maintenance hemodialysis patients at 55.11% based on serum potassium levels.
Multivariate analysis indicated factors like gender and existing conditions that increase the odds of hyperkalemia in those undergoing dialysis.
High serum potassium levels of ≥ 5.0 mmol/L showed a significant association with increased risk of major adverse cardiovascular events and hospitalization.
The findings highlight the critical need for potassium monitoring in hemodialysis patients to mitigate adverse health outcomes.
