Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a common cause of hyporeninaemic hypoaldosteronism that might result in significant hyperkalaemia. We describe a patient with diabetic nephropathy and proteinuria who developed a remarkable hyperkalaemia on treatment with an angiotensin-receptor blocker. The management of hyperkalaemia and the pathophysiological background of hyporeninaemic hypoaldosteronism are discussed.
