title: [Late drug-induced hyperkalemia in a patient with congestive heart failure].
abstract: Patients with congestive heart failure are at risk for hiperkaliemia because of coexisting comorbidities and use of multiple medications that impair potassium excretion--such as angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or spironolactone. This is the case report about the patient with late drug-induced hyperkalemia. Causes and prevention methods used against development of this adverse event were explained.
