title: Indomethacin-induced hyperkalaemia.
abstract: A patient with mild chronic renal failure developed significant hyperkalaemia while receiving indomethacin therapy. The hyperkalaemia, which was reversed by discontinuing indomethacin, is attributed to a drug-induced defect in the cellular uptake of potassium.
