Hyperkalemia-Related Discontinuation of Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System Inhibitors and Clinical Outcomes in CKD: A Population-Based Cohort Study
Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) inhibitors are evidence-based therapies that slow the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) but can cause hyperkalemia. We aimed to evaluate the association of discontinuing RAAS inhibitors after an episode of hyperkalemia and clinical outcomes in patients with CKD.
