Fulltext PDFHyperkalemia is a very commonly encountered electrolyte abnormality in the hospital setting. Drugs are a major contributing factor to elevated potassium levels in routine clinical practice. Drug-induced hyperkalemia may be asymptomatic, but it can also occasionally be severe and fatal. We present a case of a 58-year-old male with acute exacerbation of Heart failure along with iron deficiency anemia, who developed acute severe hyperkalemia after he was started on IV Ferric gluconate (FG).
