Abstract
By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News-New research on Nutritional and Metabo lic Diseases and Conditions-Hyperkalemia is the subject of a report. According to news reporting from Yvoir, Belgium, by NewsRx journalists, research stated, "A 63-year-old man with stage 3a chronic kidney disease (CKD) and mild hyperkale mia was scheduled for a robot-assisted prostatectomy. He was being treated with lisinopril." The news correspondents obtained a quote from the research from University Hospi tal, "Owing to mild hyperkalemia (6.2 mmol/L), lisinopril was discontinued, and sodium polystyrene sulfonate was administered on the day before surgery. Three h ours after incision, electrocardiographic signs of hyperkalemia manifested with the serum potassium concentration rising to 8 mmol/L." According to the news reporters, the research concluded: "Although hyperkalemia is a common and well-documented side effect of angiotensin-converting enzyme inh ibitors in patients with CKD, we report an extreme increase in potassium within a very short time period despite prior drug discontinuation." This research has been peer-reviewed.
