Hyperkalemia by β-Fluoroethylacetate: A Report of 2 Cases

When acidemia occurs associated with mineral acids, there is a predictable increase in the serum K(+) concentration. In uncomplicated cases of acidosis associated with nonmineral organic acids, the serum K(+) concentration usually remains within the normal range. The mechanism of this different effe...

description When acidemia occurs associated with mineral acids, there is a predictable increase in the serum K(+) concentration. In uncomplicated cases of acidosis associated with nonmineral organic acids, the serum K(+) concentration usually remains within the normal range. The mechanism of this different effect of mineral and organic acidemias on the transmembrane movement of k(+) remains undefined. We observed increases of serum K(+) concentration in 2 patients who ingested β-fluoroethylacetate solution for the purpose of committing suicide
