Popis: Hyperkalaemia is a common, treatable, medical emergency, often with an iatrogenic cause. This case illustrates the vulnerability of patients with pre-existing renal tubular acidosis type 4 to medications that further inhibit renin-aldosterone action. The case also illustrates the danger of keeping entirely separate case notes between different hospital disciplines.
