Observational study reveals independent mortality predictors in hyperkalemic chronic kidney disease patients, highlighting the need for rapid targeted intervention.

Key Points

To identify clinical, demographic, and laboratory factors associated with in-hospital mortality among patients with chronic kidney disease admitted for hyperkalemia.
Retrospective study of N=123 chronic kidney disease patients with serum potassium >5.1 mEq/L admitted to a nephrology clinic between January 2019 and April 2022.
Patients were categorized into survivor and non-survivor cohorts to evaluate demographic, clinical, and laboratory variables.
Independent clinical risk factors for in-hospital mortality included older age (p=0.004), diabetes mellitus (p<0.001), coronary artery disease (p=0.004), and hemodialysis (p=0.009).
Independent laboratory predictors of mortality included elevated serum potassium (p=0.001), altered calcium levels (p=0.007), and blood pH imbalance (p=0.008).
