This paper discusses the critical condition of severe hyperkalaemia in non-dialysed patients, presenting a case study from the Royal Liverpool University Hospital. The authors, including A. Davison and P. S. Williams, explore the biochemical mechanisms leading to potassium elevation and the associated risks, particularly cardiac arrest. By highlighting the clinical implications and management strategies, this research aims to raise awareness among healthcare professionals regarding the dangers of hyperkalaemia and the urgent need for monitoring and intervention in at-risk patients.
