ABSTRACT
Hyperkalemia is one of the most dangerous electrolyte disorders and is a common problem encountered in the emergency department. The diagnosis is made by serum potassium level. Many mechanisms play a role in its etiopathogenesis. Rapid diagnosis and initiation of treatment is of vital importance. Medical methods or hemodialysis are used in treatment. In case of delay in treatment, it is an electrolyte disorder that may lead to cardiac arrhythmias and may be fatal.
Keywords: Hyperkalemia; electrocardiography
