| Abstract |
Background: Hypokalemia is common among peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. The incidence rate of hypokalemia and risk factors were investigated.
Material & Method: A retrospective cohort, enrolled 1,044 incident PD patients under the Universal Health Coverage (UHC) Scheme of a regional hospital between January 2012 and December 2018. Hypokalemia was defined as having serum potassium less than 3.5 mEq/L. The rate of hypokalemia in episodes per one year at risk was determined. Risk factors of hypokalemia were reported as an incidence rate ratio using Poisson regression.
Results: The incidence rate of hypokalemia was 2.21 (95% confidence interval, 2.14-2.27) episodes per one year at risk. Risk factors of hypokalemia were; older than 60 years, female, diabetes, bodyweight less than 45 kg, serum albumin less than 3.5 g/dL, serum phosphate less than 2.5 mg/dL, and total lymphocyte count less than 1,500 cells/mm3.
Conclusions: Hypokalemia was frequently occurred in PD patients. Elderly PD patients, female, diabetes, malnutrition, low serum albumin, and low serum phosphate had higher risks to develop hypokalemia.
