Summary: | Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects about 10% of the world's population. Hyperkalemia is a life-threatening complication in patients with CKD, as it is associated with adverse cardiovascular and kidney outcomes. There are still many challenges and questions to address to improve the currently available therapeutic strategies to treat hyperkalemia, such as how to approach the emergency management of hyperkalemia. In recent years, in addition to novel oral potassium binders, great progress has been made in the application of novel kidney protective strategies, such as mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists and sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) in hyperkalemia therapy. This review will discuss the recent advances from clinical trials in the effective management of hyperkalemia in non-dialysis CKD patients, enhancing the knowledge of physicians and internists concerning these newer agents and providing a helpful reference for clinical practice. |
