Whether or not hyperkalemia can be completely eradicated depends on the primary disease causing the hyperkalemia; if the primary disease can be cured, hyperkalemia can be cured. Generally, oral medication or infusion therapy can be administered to improve or control the symptoms of hyperkalemia.
1. Oral drug treatment, after the appearance of hypokalemia, potassium supplementation drugs can be used under the guidance of doctors, such as potassium chloride, potassium citrate, potassium acetate, etc., which can regulate the level of potassium in the body and avoid complications.
2. Infusion treatment, if the situation is more serious, infusion treatment may be needed, generally 10% potassium chloride injection can be used, taking intravenous drip can make the potassium in the blood rise rapidly, so as to achieve better therapeutic effect.
3. Actively treat the primary disease: if hypokalemia is caused by hyperthyroidism, renal tubular acidosis, renal insufficiency, etc., it is necessary to actively treat the primary disease to maintain the blood potassium level.
If there are symptoms of hyperkalemia such as numbness of limbs, fatigue, nausea, arrhythmia, etc., it is recommended to consult a doctor in time and take standardized potassium supplementation according to the doctor’s instruction, and not to take medication without authorization.
