Design and cohort characteristics of TRACK, a prospective study of hyperkalaemia management decision-making.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Guideline-recommended hyperkalaemia management includes dietary potassium (K⁺) restriction, bicarbonate correction, diuretics and K⁺ binders with dose reduction of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors as a last resort. The extent to which these recommendations are implemented is uncertain, as real-world data on hyperkalaemia management are limited. The Tracking Treatment Pathways in Adult Patients with Hyperkalemia (TRACK) study is a multinational, prospective, longitudinal study that is being conducted to address this knowledge gap. We report the design and baseline cohort characteristics of this real-world study of hyperkalaemia management decision-making.
