Zusammenfassung
Background: Hyperkalaemia is a potentially lethal electrolytic disorder which the most common cause is iatrogenic in patients with pre-existing renal insufficiency. Case description: We report a patient with diabetes mellitus type 1 who was transplanted a pancreas and a kidney and developed mild hyperkalaemia in the immediate postoperative period after initiating trimethoprim. Conclusions: We communicate the first case of hyperkalaemia secondary to trimethoprim treatment in a simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplanted patient. We emphasize the importance of potassium levels monitoring in these patients.
