This article addresses the challenges of using potassium binders in patients with cardiovascular and kidney diseases, proposing two treatment algorithms to optimize their use and minimize the risks of hyperkalemia and hypokalemia.
Background: Pivotal randomized trials demonstrating efficacy, safety and good tolerance, of two new potassium binders (patiromer and sodium zirconium cyclosilicate) led to their recent approval. A major hurdle to the implementation of these potassium-binders is understanding how to integrate them safely and effectively into the long-term management of cardiovascular and kidney disease patients using renin angiotensin aldosterone system inhibitors (RAASi), the latter being prone to induce hyperkalaemia.Methods: A multidisciplinary academic panel including nephrologists and cardiologists was convened to develop consensus therapeutic algorithm(s) aimed at optimizing the use of the two novel potassium binders (patiromer and sodium zirconium cyclosilicate) in stable adults who require treatment with RAASi and experience(d) hyperkalaemia in a non-emergent setting.Results: Two dedicated pragmatic algorithms are proposed. The lowest intervention threshold (i.e. 5.1 mmol/L or greater) was the one used in the patiromer and sodium zirconium cyclosilicate) pivotal trials, both drugs being indicated to treat hyperkalaemia in a non-emergent setting. Acknowledging the heterogeneity across specialty guidelines in hyperkalaemia definition and thresholds to intervene when facing hyperkalaemia, we have been mindful to use soft language i.e. it is to consider, not necessarily to do.Conclusions: Providing the clinical community with pragmatic algorithms may help optimize the management of high-risk patients by avoiding the risks of both hyper and hypokalaemia and of suboptimal RAASi therapy
