The Association of Insulin-dextrose Treatment with Hypoglycemia in Patients with Hyperkalemia
Abstract Treatment of hyperkalemia with intravenous insulin-dextrose is associated with a risk of hypoglycemia. We aimed to determine the factors associated with hypoglycemia (glucose < 3.9 mmol/L, or < 70 mg/dL) and the critical time window with the highest incidence. In a retrospective cohor...
