Recurrent episodes of hyperkalemia in a case with renal cell carcinoma
Journal Title: Ege Tıp Dergisi - Year 2014, Vol 53, Issue 4
Abstract
Hyperkalemia is one of the most urgent entities in clinical practice. The importance of hyperkalemia arises from its cardiovascular effects that can be mortal. Relapsing hyperkalemia is rare and usually associated with renal disorders. Renal tubular acidosis is one of them. Although Type 4 renal tubular acidosis is generally associated with diabetes mellitus, this entity also may accompanied by other disorders. Renal cell carcinoma is the most common type of kidney cancer in adults and recently sunitinib is being widely used in advanced renal cell carcinoma. Sometimes hyperkalemia may be caused by multiple contributing factors.
