What would be the patient teaching on hyperkalemia?

Patient teaching on hyperkalemia should include information about its causes, such as kidney dysfunction, certain medications, and high potassium diets. Patients should be advised to monitor their potassium intake, avoiding high-potassium foods like bananas, Oranges, and potatoes. It’s important to recognize symptoms of hyperkalemia, such as muscle weakness, fatigue, and palpitations, and seek medical help if these occur. Regular follow-up blood tests may be necessary to monitor potassium levels and adjust treatment accordingly.
