Introduction: Drug and food interaction is a condition in which nutritional factors present in food have an influence significant effect on drug therapy, both potentially increasing or decreasing the effect of drug therapy. Indonesian people have a habit of taking medicine by using food or drink. Bananas are the primadona that are often consumed to speed up the swallowing process and reduce the bitter taste of medicine. It turns out that the consumption of bananas together with ACE inhibitors can increase the risk of hyperkalemia. Lack of information about the effects caused by drug and food interactions, so it is necessary to do related research.  Objective: This study aims to determine the interaction of giving ramipril together with Ambon banana on the risk of hyperkalemia. Methods: A real experimental study while still adhering to the Covid'19 health protocol. White rats were divided into 4 groups, conditioned by hypertension, then intervened with ramipril and Ambon banana. Blood serum was taken and analyzed using UV spectrophotometry to obtain serum potassium levels. The levels obtained were analyzed using the One Way Anova Test. Results: The mean serum potassium level of the positive control group was 4.93±0.58; negative control 4.13±0.60; normal control 4.76±0.59 and treatment 5.10±0.38. The highest serum potassium level was in the ramipril treatment group together with Ambon banana, but still in the normal range of 3.60–5.50 mmol/L. One Way Anova test results (p = 0.054). (p>0.05) showed no significant difference. Conclusion: There is no specific increase in levels of ramipril concurrently with Ambon banana so it does not have the potential to cause the risk of hyperkalemia.   Keywords: Drug Interaction, Ramipril, Ambon Banana, Serum Potassium, Hyperkalemia

Abstract Background and Aims Dietary intake patterns in hemodialysis (HD) patients in Korea are diverse and unique comparing with those of other countries. Hyperphosphatemia and hyperkalemia are closely related to intake of dietary phosphorus and potassium. Dietary intake of Korean HD patients was analyzed using newly developed semi-FFQ for Korean food in order to get the baseline data for improving a dietary management guide for Korean HD patients. Method We investigate the effects of consumed food on serum phosphorus and potassium levels of 128 HD patients(74 males and 54 females) in 6 tertiary referral hospitals using semi-FFQ consisting of 23 food meal items based on the Korean usual diets. Results The mean age was 59.7±11.6 years for males and 58.9± 9.3 years for females and the hemodialysis duration was 5.4±5.6 years for men and 5.4±3.9 years for women, respectively. Mean serum phosphorus level was 4.50±1.52 mg/dl and mean serum potassium level was 4.74±0.73 mEq/L. Hyperphosphatemia was found in 45.8% of the subjects, and hyperkalemia in 35.4%. Energy, protein and other nutrients intake were significantly lower than the recommended intakes for HD patients (p<0.05). Serum phosphorus levels showed positive correlation with intake of mixed grain meals (p<0.05). There was a significant difference in the daily intake frequency of cooked rice between males (2.5±0.76/day) and females (2.15±0.86/day)(p<0.001). The noodle intake frequency also showed a significant difference between males (0.09±0.14/day) and females (0.04±0.06/day) (p<0.001). Serum potassium level showed positive correlation with intake of potatoes, high-potassium vegetables & fruits and Kimchi (p<0.05). There was a significant gender difference in the daily intake frequency of Kimchi between males (1.28±0.11/day) and females (1.07±0.99/day)(p<0.05). In case of medium and high potassium vegetables & fruits, consumption was higher in females than in males (p<0.05). Intake of white rice showed negative correlation with serum potassium levels (p<0.05). Conclusion Intake of white rice meals rather than mixed grains meals is an important factor for maintaining normal serum phosphorus and potassium levels. Intake of potatoes, medium and high potassium vegetables & fruits is recommended to be reduced to less than three serving per week. Considering abundance of potassium and phosphorus in Korean food pattern, customized dietary management as well as medical treatment is essential in all HD patients.

The presented article contains the clinical observation of bradycardia development in 64-year-old patient with chronic kidney disease who was in ambulatory treatment at the hemodialysis department. During electrocardiogram recording an arrhythmia was detected as a junctional rhythm. The specific changes on electrocardiogram, presence of risk factors, and data of additional collection of history disease allowed purposing the development of dangerous condition — hyperkalemia. The diagnosis was confirmed after detection of the serum potassium level. This case illustrates the necessity to consider the possibility of hyperkalemia in patients with chronic kidney diseases including those who undergoing hemodialysis treatment. Relevant clinical manifestations and changes on the electrocardiogram require the urgent assessment of the serum potassium level for timely and adequate correction of the electrolyte disorder.

Abstract Background: Regular monitoring of serum potassium after total joint arthroplasty (TJA) is a routine examination, which can detect abnormal serum potassium and reduce adverse events timely caused by postoperative hypokalemia. In this study, we aimed to investigate the incidence and risk factors of hypokalemia after primary total hip and knee replacement.Methods: This study included patients who underwent unilateral total knee or hip arthroplasty in our department from April 2017 to March 2018. The serum potassium level before and after operation was collected and retrospectively analyzed. The differences in age, BMI and other factors between hypokalemia patients and non-hypokalemia patients at different time points after surgery were compared, and then the risk factors of postoperative hypokalemia were analyzed based on multiple logistic regression.Results: The total incidence of postoperative hypokalemia was 53.1%, while the respective rate on the first, third and fifth postoperative day was 12.5%, 40.7% and 9.6%. The serum potassium level on the first, third and fifth postoperative day was 3.84±0.32mmol/l, 3.59±0.34mmol/l and 3.80±0.32mmol/l, while among which, the level on the third day was the lowest (p=0.015). The independent risk factors for hypokalemia after total hip and knee replacement were the level of preoperative serum potassium (p=0.011), preoperative red blood cells (p=0.027), and a history of diabetes (p=0.007).Conclusion: Regular monitoring of serum potassium should be performed after TJA due to hypokalemia was a very common complication. We need to pay more attention to patients’ preoperative potassium and red blood cells, especially patients with diabetes.
