A Retrospective Study of Patiromer as Adjunct to Insulin Therapy for Acute Hyperkalemia in the Emergency Department
In this study of patients with acute hyperkalemia in the ED setting, concurrent administration of patiromer did not result in more sustained potassium reduction compared to insulin alone in the overall cohort. The trend in favor of adjunct patiromer in the subgroup with adequate renal function warrants further investigation.
