The possibility of obtaining a rapid fall of kalaemia in patients with renal failure under haemodialysis by injecting salbutamol intravenously in doses of 0.5 mg over 15 minutes was tested in 11 subjects. Kalaemia fell by 1.08 +/- 0.30 mmol in 30 minutes, 75 per cent of the effect being obtained at the end of the infusion. Malaise with tachycardia was frequent but always transient. Thus, a rapid infusion of salbutamol seems to be well tolerated and effective against hyperkalaemia, provided two contra-indications are observed: coronary disease and treatment with beta-blockers.

D007676 Kidney Failure, Chronic The end-stage of CHRONIC RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. It is characterized by the severe irreversible kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA) and the reduction in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE to less than 15 ml per min (Kidney Foundation: Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative, 2002). These patients generally require HEMODIALYSIS or KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION.

D006947 Hyperkalemia Abnormally high potassium concentration in the blood, most often due to defective renal excretion. It is characterized clinically by electrocardiographic abnormalities (elevated T waves and depressed P waves, and eventually by atrial asystole). In severe cases, weakness and flaccid paralysis may occur. (Dorland, 27th ed) Hyperpotassemia,Hyperkalemias,Hyperpotassemias
D000420 Albuterol A short-acting beta-2 adrenergic agonist that is primarily used as a bronchodilator agent to treat ASTHMA. Albuterol is prepared as a racemic mixture of R(-) and S(+) stereoisomers. The stereospecific preparation of R(-) isomer of albuterol is referred to as levalbuterol.
