Abstract

A 72-year-old man, presenting with hypernephroma and infraclinic adrenal adenoma, developed severe hypokalaemia in the course of treatment for colonic perforation. Amikacin-induced hyperkaliuric hypokalaemia was suspected, and confirmed by withdrawal of the drug as well as observation of an unnoticed similar episode in the medical record of the patient.
