A member asked:
Is the risk of hyperkalemia the same for all angiotensin receptor blockers? if i have normal kidney function prior to arb usage, how likely am i to develop hyperkalemia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If your kidney function is normal, chance of developing hyperkalemia is extremely low and chance of developing SIGNIFICANT hyperkalemia is almost zero at your age.
