When treating patients with heart failure and chronic kidney disease, RAASi therapy should be continued if at all possible. One thing to keep in mind is that an elevation in serum creatinine does not always represent acute kidney injury. In this activity, Drs. George Bakris, Biykem Bozkurt, and Robert Toto examine a case study and discuss transient changes in serum creatinine with hyperkalemia. Join us to find out how and why you should avoid RAAS blockade interruption in these patients.
