The evidence to date on optimal dietary patterns points toward use of a predominantly plant-based diet, and suggests its adoption may improve clinical outcomes in dialysis patients. However, clinical trials are needed to determine whether these diet interventions are feasible, safe, and effective in...
Treatment of hyperkalemia must be individualized based on the underlying cause of the hyperkalemia, the severity of symptoms or appearance of ECG changes, and the overall health status of the patient. Mild hyperkalemia is usually treated without hospitalization especially if the patient is otherwise hea...
No dialysis treatments were missed, and medication use remained unchanged during the study period. Timing of blood collection varied between patients, but there was a relative constant collection time within patients (±30 minutes across weeks). Table 1. Baseline patient characteristics VariableMean ±...
of low-dose MRA provides cardioprotective effects in bothhemodialysisandperitoneal dialysispatients without significantly increasing the risk of hyperkalemia. MRA may improve mortality in ESKD dialysis patients, but larger studies are needed to establish safe protocols for their use in dialysis patients. ...
If you have too much potassium or hyperkalemia it may produce symptoms like muscle weakness, irregular heartbeat, or nausea. Hormone problems or taking certain drugs may result in elevated potassium levels. Doctors treat hyperkalemia with certain medications or with dialysis, which removes waste from...

A possible alternative approach might be to use these very low potassium containing dialysates for only the first one-half of the dialysis treatment; the safety of this course of action needs to be tested. For noncompliant MHD patients or those who adhere poorly to their dietary potassium ...
