Abstract Management of hyperkalemia depends on serum potassium level and presence of ECG changes and metabolic acidosis. Hemodialysis may be needed in severe resistant hyperkalemia, but as a therapeutic maneuver for hepatorenal syndrome has been ineffective. The severity and complications of liver disease, presence of renal dysfunction and its potential cause, intravenous infusions, and all medications such as diuretics, vasopressin analogs, and lactulose therapy must be considered in the evaluation of acid-base and potassium disorders. Management of electrolyte abnormalities in liver cell failure patients may improve survival rate and healthy outcome. |
