Hyperkalemia
is a life-threatening metabolic emergency. Delay in the treatment of
hyperkalemia may lead to life-threatening consequences, even death. In this
article, we presented a case of severe hyperkalemia. A 65-year-old woman was
admitted to Emergency room complaints of dizziness and weakness. She was on
hemodialysis (HD) three times weekly. Her heart rate was 125 per minuteand
blood pressure was 80/60 mmHg. A wide QRS-complex rhythm was seen in
electrocardiography. She was diagnosed as hyperkalemia. Meanwhile she was
waiting for HD; she was treated with sodium bicarbonate, regular insulin, and
salbutamol nebulization. Within 40 minutes, HD was performed. After HD session,
she fully recovered and discharged from the hospital. In conclusion, although
the severity of hyperkalemia is not correlated with ECG findings, in the
presence of ECG findings, it is crucial to be evaluated these findings by
emergent physicians and treated in a timely manner for this potentially
life-threatening condition.
