Overview
In this engaging educational roundtable discussion 'Hyperkalaemia in Cardiorenal Disease – A Case Based Discussion', Prof James Burton (University of Leicester, UK), is joined by a renowned international faculty to explore emerging data and the changing landscape of medical management of hyperkalaemia.
RAASi therapy serves part of the foundational treatment for heart failure and chronic kidney disease, but it is also a risk factor for hyperkalaemia. This conundrum poses challenges to physicians managing cardio-renal patients.

Part 1
Summary and Recap on Patient Case Studies
Prof James Burton and Dr Shelley Zieroth recap on two patients with elevated K+ and discuss possible management approaches. If you voted in our online poll, you’ll want to watch these to find out how your peers voted and to hear what our expert panel have to say.
Part 2
Risk Factors for Hyperkalaemia
Who are most at risk of hyperkalaemia? What are the risk factors and is there an additive risk in cardio-renal disease? In this short presentation Prof James Burton addresses some of these important questions, before seeking insight from the broader panel of experts.

Part 3
Real-world HK Management Practices
Although guidelines are clear on how we should be managing patients on RAASi and with elevated K+, the real world evidence suggests our practices fall woefully short, with an alarming number of patients having RAASi doses lowered or discontinued completely. Furthermore, many never re-start, putting them at increased risk of future events. Dr Shelley Zieroth examines the real world evidence behind this and then goes on to examine why, with the help of the expert panel.

Part 4
Towards an Aligned Treatment Approach in Cardiorenal PTS
In a bid to develop true international consensus, a Delphi method was deployed to address evident practice gaps and to bridge the lack of universally accepted approaches to the management of hyperkalaemia in cardio-renal patients. As the lead author, Prof James Burton provides an overview of this important document, summarising its rationale and outcomes. The full article can be accessed here.
Part 5
Managing Hyperkalaemia to Facilitate RAASi: Best Practices in Cardiorenal Patients
Guidelines are almost universal on their approach to using RAASi in the presence of elevated K+, but what do they actually say? Furthermore, what do they say about the use of binders and other methods of controlling elevated K+? In this very concise presentation, Dr Andrew Frankel provides a summary of multiple society guidelines, distilling three critical take-home messages. Additional discussion on the practical implementation of guidelines proceeds the main presentation.
Part 6
Clinical Impact of Suboptimal RAASi
What is the impact of sub-optimal RAASi treatment? In this sobering presentation, Dr Clara Bonanad draws on clinical data to demonstrate the adverse outcomes from sub-optimal RAASi, and leaves us with a direct call to action to do more by acting earlier and using evidence-based potassium-lowering medication.

Andrew Frankel
Consultant Nephrologist
Dr Andrew Frankel has been working as a consultant nephrologist at Imperial College Healthcare NHS trust since 1995. He has experience in managing all aspects of kidney disease but has a particular interest in relation to the management of diabetes in the context of kidney disease. Over the years he has maintained a significant research interest in relation to diabetes and kidney, both in terms of how diabetes affects the kidneys leading to deterioration in kidney function, but also in relation to how the presence of kidney disease influences the management of diabetes. Because of this experience, Dr Frankel has played a significant role in the development of national guidelines on the management of diabetes in the context of kidney disease. He is a regular speaker both locally and nationally and indeed internationally in relation to matters pertaining to diabetes and the kidney.
In collaboration with colleagues within Imperial College and indeed both…
