Abstract
Hyperkaliemia is a relatively common electrolyte disorder whose manifestations and consequences can be serious if severe hyperkalemia is not treated. In the context of hypertension, it is important to look for co-morbidities and conditions favoring hyperkaliemia, to review the drugs prescribed that could contribute to potassium elevation and to bear in mind that when the common causes have been excluded, a genetic origin may be present. In this article, the focus is on the association of hypertension and hyperkaliemia, in the context of the marketing of new cardiovascular and renal drugs that may induce this electrolyte disorder.
