Article Synopsis
- This study assessed the risks and related factors of community-acquired hyperkalemia (CAH) in the elderly, focusing on patients aged 65 and older, to understand its impact on health outcomes.
- Findings revealed that CAH is significantly correlated with longer hospital stays, higher mortality rates, increased healthcare expenses, and the number of comorbid diseases.
- Key risk factors identified include the use of specific medications (NSAIDs, ACE inhibitors, ARBs, spironolactone), having multiple comorbidities, being female, and having renal issues, especially when these drugs are prescribed to patients with kidney injuries.
