Sponsor

Saglik Bilimleri Universitesi

Enrollment

40 participants

Start Date

Feb 1, 2024

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Hemodialysis Chronic Kidney Disease(CKD)Hyperkalemia

Summary

Patients with CKD ( eGFR \< \<60 mL/min/1,73 m2) presenting to emergency department with isolated hyperkalemia will be study population. Pre and post treatment ECG and echocardiographic findings will be recorded. Investigator will not intervene with the treatment decision of responsible physician and will not delay any intervetion or treatment for the sake of study. Data will be compared in terms of ECHO and ECG findings depending on hyperkalemia level and response to treatment.

Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is examining whether high potassium levels in the blood (hyperkalemia) — a dangerous complication of chronic kidney disease — cause changes in heart structure and function that can be detected by an echocardiogram (a heart ultrasound). It aims to understand the relationship between kidney disease, dangerous electrolyte imbalances, and heart health. **You may be eligible if...** - You are over 18 years old - You have chronic kidney disease with reduced kidney function (eGFR below 60) - You were found to have high potassium levels (hyperkalemia) in the emergency department - You are willing to participate and have signed the consent form **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You are under 18 - You do not have chronic kidney disease - You do not have elevated potassium levels - You refused to participate - You required emergency resuscitation (CPR) due to the hyperkalemia Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
