Transient Hyperkalemia and Hypoaldosteronism in a Patient with Acute Glomerulonephritis
The authors describe a 7-year-old boy with acute glomerulonephritis, who developed acute renal failure in the early course of his disease. While the renal function and other clinical manifestations gradually improved, hyperkalemia occurred unexpectedly, and returned to normal level spontaneously aft...
