Management of hyperkalemia: Expert consensus from Kuwait - a Modified Delphi Approach.
Introduction: Hyperkalemia is common in heart failure (HF) patients on renin angiotensin aldosterone inhibitors (RAASi), in chronic kidney disease (CKD), and in hemodialysis, and it negatively impacts their management. New potassium binders, such as sodium zirconium cyclosilicate (SZC), are effective in management of acute and chronic hyperkalemia. However, guidelines inconsistencies and lack of standardized treatment protocols are hindering proper and wider use of such agents. Therefore, an expert panel from Kuwait developed a consensus statement to address hyperkalemia management in acute settings, in HF, in CKD, and in hemodialysis.
Methods: A three-step modified Delphi method was adopted to develop the present consensus, which consisted of two rounds of voting and in-between a virtual meeting. Twelve experts from Kuwait participated in this consensus. Statements were developed and shared with experts for voting. A meeting was held to discuss statements that did not reach consensus at the first round and then the remaining statements were shared for final voting.
Results: The consensus consists of 44 statements involving an introduction to and the management of hyperkalemia in acute settings, HF, CKD, and hemodialysis. Thirty-six statements approved unanimously in the first vote. In the second vote, four statements were removed and four were approved after editing.
Conclusion: Hyperkalemia management lacks standardized definitions, treatment thresholds and consistent guidelines and laboratory practices. This consensus is in response to lack of standardized treatment in the Arabian Gulf, and it aims to establish guidance on hyperkalemia management for healthcare practitioners in Kuwait and highlight future needs.
期刊介绍:
International Journal of Nephrology and Renovascular Disease is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal focusing on the pathophysiology of the kidney and vascular supply. Epidemiology, screening, diagnosis, and treatment interventions are covered as well as basic science, biochemical and immunological studies. In particular, emphasis will be given to: -Chronic kidney disease- Complications of renovascular disease- Imaging techniques- Renal hypertension- Renal cancer- Treatment including pharmacological and transplantation- Dialysis and treatment of complications of dialysis and renal disease- Quality of Life- Patient satisfaction and preference- Health economic evaluations. The journal welcomes submitted papers covering original research, basic science, clinical studies, reviews & evaluations, guidelines, expert opinion and commentary, case reports and extended reports. The main focus of the journal will be to publish research and clinical results in humans but preclinical, animal and in vitro studies will be published where they shed light on disease processes and potential new therapies and interventions.
