Hemolysis and blood gas analysis: it's time for a change!

Incidence, risk factors, and recognition of pseudohyperkalemia in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia

Alon Bnaya et al.

Summary: Pseudohyperkalemia, a false elevation of potassium level, is common in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients, with a high leukocyte count contributing to this phenomenon. Physicians should be more aware of pseudohyperkalemia and differentiate it from true hyperkalemia when treating CLL patients.
