Potassium plays an important role in cellular metabolism and normal neuromuscular function. Potassium balance has been a major role of kidney by increasing or decreasing the rate of potassium excretion. Serum potassium abnormalities is multifactorial. In renal impairment patients, the most common problem observed is hyperkalemia.The prevalence of hyperkalemia in chronic kidney disease is high. Hyperkalemia is a life-threatening severity that affects the cardiac conducting tissue leading to cardiac arrest. Therefore, early detection and monitoring of hyperkalaemia is necessary. It is important to treat hyperkalemia in emergency department. Various therapeutic approaches have been developed for the treatment of hyperkalemia in chronic kidney disease patients. The aim of the review is to identify the causes of hyperkalemia, differential diagnostic methods and various therapeutic approaches in chronic renal failure patients.
