Hyperkalaemia is a life-threatening dyselectrolytaemia which is characterized by elevated serum potassium levels. It needs a systematic and overarching approach to effectively manage a case of hyperkalaemia. We propose a structured A-to-H approach to guide clinicians in managing hyperkalaemia, ensuring that no critical aspect is neglected or inadvertently missed.

In the management of pregnancy, ritodrine has been used to prevent preterm birth, and magnesium sulfate (MgSO) has been used to prevent preterm labor and preeclampsia. Neonates born to mothers receiving these medications occasionally show an increase in serum potassium concentration. Recently, an elevated risk of neonatal hyperkalemia has been reported, particularly when ritodrine and MgSO are co-administered; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.

Microglia-mediated neuroinflammation plays a critical role in neuronal damage in neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease. Evidence shows that voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channels regulate microglial activation. We previously reported that copper dyshomeostasis causes neuronal injury via activating microglia.

Introduction: Neonatal seizures are the most common clinical manifestation of neurological dysfunction in newborns, with an incidence ranging from 1 to 5‰. However, the therapeutic efficacy of current pharmacological treatments remains suboptimal. This study aims to utilize genetically modified hamsters with hypertriglyceridaemia (HTG) to investigate the effects of elevated triglycerides on neuronal excitability and to elucidate the underlying mechanisms.

Its prevalence and severity increase in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), diabetes mellitus, and heart failure (HF), particularly when compounded by medications like Angiotensin converting inhibitors, Angiotensin receptor blockers, and potassium sparing diuretics.
