Potassium, Excess in Blood | |
|
A diuretic is any drug that tends to increase the flow of urine from the body (diuresis). They also decrease the extracellular fluid volume, and are primarily used to produce a negative extracellular fluid balance. Some common diuretics are caffeine, cranberry juice and alcohol.

Hyperkalemia (hyper is high, kalium is the Latin name for potassium) is an elevated blood level (above 5.0 mmol/L) of the electrolyte potassium. Extreme degrees of hyperkalemia are considered a medical emergency due to the risk of arrhythmia.
