Abstract

Hyperkalemia is a frequently encountered electrolyte abnormality. If hyperkalemia is associated with a normal electrocardiogram and cannot be explained by an underlying illness, pseudohyperkalemia should be considered. Recognizing the situation is important to preclude unnecessary investigations and potentially hazardous intervention. We report a case of pseudohyperkalemia in a patient with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and extreme leukocytosis.

Özet

Hiperpotasemi sık karşılaşılan bir elektrolit bozukluğudur. Özellikle lökositoz varlığında, nedeni açıklanamayan, hiperpotasemiye ait klinik ve elektrokardiyografik değişiklikler saptanamayan hastalarda, psödohiperpotasemi düşünülmeli, gereksiz tetkik ve hastaya zarar verebilecek tedavilerden kaçınmalıdır. Akut lenfoblastik lösemi tanısı ile izlenen ve çok yüksek lökosit sayısı varlığında psödohiperpotasemi gelişen bir olgu, buna neden olabilecek mekanizmaları da gözden geçirmek amacıyla sunulmuştur.
