Hyperkalemia in the elderly

RN Walmsley, GH White, M Cain, PJ McCarthy and J Booth

We describe three such cases where the increased concentration of potassium in plasma resulted from decreased renal excretion of this ion, and suggest a simple approach to the etiological diagnosis of hyperkalemia.
