HAZLET, N.J. - s4story -- In this educational initiative, to take place at the 2025 AXS Specialty Pharmacy meeting, a multidisciplinary faculty—consisting of two hyperkalemia experts in heart failure (one cardiologist, Dr. Stephen Greene and one pharmacist, Dr. Robert Page) and two hyperkalemia experts in chronic kidney disease (one nephrologist, Dr. Csaba Kovesdy and one pharmacist, Dr. Joanna Hudson) will explain the cardiovascular risks associated with discontinuing/reducing the dose of RAASi therapy due to hyperkalemia and the clinical evidence with novel potassium binders for reducing serum potassium and facilitating maintenance of RAASi therapy. Roles of specialty pharmacists in the management of patients with hyperkalemia will be identified, and clinical practice pearls will be described. A case presentation and faculty discussion of a patient with HF, CKD and hyperkalemia at high cardiorenal risk will provide attendees with best practices and key take-home messages.
