PPT-Introduction: Hyperkalemia could be fatal

Insulin causes rapid shift of potassium from extracellular to intracellular space Concurrent use of IV dextrose D50 to counteract the hypoglycemic effect of insulin Up to 50 of patients with end stage renal disease ESRD who are treated with insulin and glucose develop hypoglycemia. 20.
