2. Hyperkalemia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperkalemia

   This can lead to a dramatically elevated potassium in conditions of increased cell breakdown as the potassium is released from the cells and cannot be eliminated in the kidney. In chronic kidney disease , hyperkalemia occurs as a result of reduced aldosterone responsiveness and reduced sodium and water delivery in distal tubules.

3. Rhabdomyolysis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhabdomyolysis

   High potassium levels may lead to potentially fatal disruptions in heart rhythm. Phosphate binds to calcium from the circulation, leading to low calcium levels in the blood. [11] Rhabdomyolysis may cause kidney failure by several mechanisms. The most important is the accumulation of myoglobin in the kidney tubules.

4. Renal diet - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renal_diet

   A renal diet is a diet aimed at keeping levels of fluids, electrolytes, and minerals balanced in the body in individuals with chronic kidney disease or who are on dialysis. Dietary changes may include the restriction of fluid intake, protein, and electrolytes including sodium, phosphorus, and potassium. [1]

5. Acute kidney injury - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_kidney_injury

   AKI may lead to a number of complications, including metabolic acidosis, high potassium levels, uremia, changes in body fluid balance, effects on other organ systems, and death. People who have experienced AKI are at increased risk of developing chronic kidney disease in the future. [4]

6. Neuroleptic malignant syndrome - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroleptic_malignant_syndrome

   Complications may include muscle breakdown (rhabdomyolysis), high blood potassium, kidney failure, or seizures. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Any medications within the family of antipsychotics can cause the condition, though typical antipsychotics appear to have a higher risk than atypicals , [ 1 ] specifically first generation antipsychotics like haloperidol ...

7. Chronic kidney disease - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_kidney_disease

   The term "non-dialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease" (NDD-CKD) is a designation used to encompass the status of those persons with an established CKD who do not yet require the life-supporting treatments for kidney failure known as kidney replacement therapy (RRT, including maintenance dialysis or kidney transplantation).
