Clinical Advances in the Management of
Chronic hyperkalemia is a challenging clinical problem associated with increased mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease. The risk of hyperkalemia is also a limiting factor in usingrenin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) inhibitors for the treatment of hypertension, chronic kidney disease, heart failure, and diabetes. This page aims to inform clinicians on the latest clinical trial updates and how to implement evolving standards of care that reflect the latest clinical evidence on RAAS inhibition and hyperkalemia management to improve patient outcomes.
