Özet:

 


Hyperkalemia is a rare condition after the dietary intake of large amounts of potassium. It may be more likely to occur in patients with impaired renal function and multiple drug use. Since potassium disorders lead to cardiac effects, life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias may occur when they are not recognized or treated. We detected hyperkalemia in the patient who came to our emergency department with a complaint of nausea. The anamnesis of the patient was detailed, and it was learned that the patient had excessive consumption of bananas with diet. It should be borne in mind that there may be problems with excretion of potassium in the elderly and patients with additional diseases. Treatment of our patient in the emergency department was started early and potassium was reduced to normal limits. Dietary intake should be questioned in addition to kidney dysfunction in all patients with hyperkalemia.
