Abstract

Hyperkalemia is well-known sequela of consumption of diet rich in potassium. It has also been reported in patients who consume large amount of fruits or fruit juice. Disorders of plasma potassium can have profound effects, especially on cardiac function. A potentially life threatening hyperkalemia is described in two female patients who consumed excessive amount of apricot and banana. Despite emergent treatment for hyperkalemia was initiated, serum potassium levels remained high. Therefore hemodialysis was chosen as definitive treatment for these patients. Upon reviewing their food intake and medication history, their relatives stated patients have consumed excessive amount of apricot and banana for the past 10 days. Hidden source of potassium intake, such as apricot and banana, should not be overlooked, especially in patients presenting with catastrophic cardiac and neuromuscular effects.

Özet

Hiperkalemi, potasyumdan zengin diyet tüketiminin iyi bilinen bir sonucudur. Fazla miktarda meyve veya meyve suyu tüketen hastalarda da hiperkalemi geliştiği bildirilmiştir. Plazma potasyum bozuklukları özellikle kardiyak fonksiyon üzerine önemli etkiler yapabilmektedir. Aşırı miktarda kayısı ve muz tüketen ve yaşamı tehdit edici derecede hiperkalemi gelişen iki kadın olgu sunulmaktadır. Hiperkalemiye yönelik acil tedavileri başlanmasına rağmen, serum potasyum seviyeleri yine de yüksek kalmıştır. Bunun üzerine iki hastaya da hemodiyaliz tedavisi uygulanmıştır. Yiyecek ve ilaç öyküleri tekrar sorgulandığında iki hastanın yakını da son 10 gündür hastaların aşırı miktarda kayısı ve muz tükettiğini söylemişlerdir. Hiperkaleminin, kayısı ve muz gibi gizli nedenleri özellikle kardiyak ve nöromusküler etkilerin kötü seyrettiği hastalarda göz ardı edilmemelidir.
