Hyperkalemia is defined as a blood potassium level exceeding 5 mmol/l (normal range is 3.5-5 mmol/l). This is a common disease with a high mortality rate if not treated promptly.

Potassium plays an important role in nerve impulse conduction, acid-base balance, enzyme activity, and cell membrane function. Hyperkalemia can cause muscle weakness and flaccid paralysis due to an imbalance of ions for neuromuscular excitability.
