Diagnosis and differential diagnosis of renal hyperkalemia in children / 中华实用儿科临床杂志

Kidney is the most important organ to maintain the balance of hyperkalemia.Due to reduced glomerular filtration rate or renal tubule potassium excretion dysfunction, all kinds of acute and chronic kidney diseases can result in increased hyperkalemia.Therefore, hyperkalemia becomes a common electrolyte disorder in children with kidney disease.Hence, the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of renal hyperkalemia are particularly important for clinicians.
