Hyperkalemia, drug induced. Potassium intoxication. Clinical Information. A disorder characterized by laboratory test results that indicate an elevation in the concentration of potassium in the blood; associated with kidney failure or sometimes with the use of diuretic drugs.
This topic will review the causes and evaluation of hyperkalemia. The clinical manifestations, treatment, and prevention of hyperkalemia, as well as a detailed discussion of hypoaldosteronism (an important cause of hyperkalemia), are presented elsewhere:
E87.5 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of hyperkalemia. The code is valid during the current fiscal year for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions from October 01, 2024 through September 30, 2025.
Hyperkalemia is a common clinical problem that is most often a result of impaired urinary potassium excretion due to acute or chronic kidney disease (CKD) and/or disorders or drugs that inhibit the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS).
Hyperkalemia is when you have too much potassium in your blood. It’s not a common condition found in most people. But it’s very common if you have kidney disease or kidney failure. Hyperkalemia rarely causes symptoms, so it can be surprising if a blood test shows high potassium levels.
Hyperkalemia is defined as a serum or plasma potassium level above the upper limits of normal, usually greater than 5.0 mEq/L to 5.5 mEq/L. While mild hyperkalemia is usually asymptomatic, high potassium levels may cause life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias, muscle weakness, or paralysis.
