                  What is Hyperkalemia ICD 10?

                  Hyperkalemia ICD 10 Code is E87.5 and it is a condition, in which the potassium levels in the human blood are high than usual. The Potassium is crucial for the proper function of muscles, including the heart. Elevated potassium levels can disrupt normal heart rhythms, posing serious health risks.

                  Why is Acute Hyperkalemia Happening?

                  Acute Hyperkalemia ICD 10 (Code: E87.5) can be caused by:

                  • Kidney Dysfunction:

                    Impaired kidneys cannot remove excess potassium.

                  • Medications:

                    Certain drugs can increase potassium levels, including potassium-sparing diuretics.

                  • Dietary Excess:

                    Consuming too much potassium through food or supplements.

                  • Underlying Conditions:

                    Diabetes, severe injuries, or metabolic disorders.

                  Treatment Options for Hyperkalemia ICD 10

                  • Low-Potassium Diet:

                    Reducing potassium intake through diet.

                  • Medication Adjustments:

                    Changing or stopping medications contributing to high potassium.

                  • Potassium-Lowering Medications:

                    Diuretics or other medications to reduce potassium levels.

                  • Dialysis:

                    For patients with severe kidney dysfunction to remove excess potassium.

                  Diagnostics for Hyperkalemia ICD 10

                  • Blood Test:

                    It can be done to measure the potassium levels to confirm Hyperkalemia in the blood.

                  Symptoms for Acute Hyperkalemia ICD 10

                  • Fatigue or weakness
                  • Numbness or tingling
                  • Nausea or vomiting
                  • Breathing difficulties
                  • Chest pain
