Author ProfileAbstract
A 75-year-old man was admitted with a diagnosis of diabetic ketoacidosis
and hyperkalemia. During the treatment, he developed refractory
hyperkalemia. Following our review, diagnosis of pseudohyperkalaemia
secondary to thrombocytosis was made. We report this case to remind the
importance of clinical suspicion of this phenomenon to prevent its
serious consequences.21 Mar 2022Submitted to Clinical Case Reports 25 Mar 2022Submission Checks Completed
