GPnotebook Podcast

In this episode, Dr Hannah Rosa and Dr Will Hinchliffe (Consultant in Renal and General Medicine working in the north-east and north Cumbria) discuss the management of hyperkalaemia in primary care. They break the management down into six steps, so that when you are next faced with blood test results that show a raised potassium level, you will know exactly what to do. They first discuss who needs admission into hospital, then how to manage hyperkalaemia in the community and finally the role of potassium binders.
