The Prevalence and Risk Factors of Hyperkalemia in the Outpatient Setting
CONCLUSION: The risk factors contributing to hyperkalemia were patients with older age, DM, CKD, hemodialysis treatment, and usage of RAASi. Although the usage of RAASi is proven to be a cardiovascular advantage in the elderly, DM, and CKD patients, careful monitoring of SK is strongly advised to optimize patient care.PMID:38292832 | PMC:PMC10824579 | DOI:10.1155/2024/5694131 (Source: International Journal of Nephrology)

Endovascular versus Surgical Lower Extremity Revascularization among Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease
CONCLUSIONS: In this analysis of patients with CKD undergoing lower extremity revascularization, an endovascular approach was associated with a higher rate of repeated revascularization but a lower risk of subsequent amputation and death compared with surgical revascularization. Multiple factors must be considered when counseling patients with CKD, who have a high burden of comorbid conditions. Clinical trials should include more patients with kidney disease, who are often otherwise excluded from participation, to better understand the most effective treatment strategies for this vulnerable patient population.PMID:38144229...
