First- and second-generation potassium binders reduced potassium levels in a Swedish cohort of patients, despite premature adjustments to renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors ...

Elevated potassium levels are common in CKD and heart failure, and are often exacerbated by the mainstay of therapy, renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) inhibition.

Among individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who begin therapy with renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors (RAASIs), elevated levels of serum creatinine and potassium are not ...
