Potassium Chloride in Sodium Chloride Disease Interactions

There are 2 disease interactions with Potassium Chloride in Sodium Chloride (lvp solution with potassium).

Major

Sodium salts (applies to Potassium Chloride in Sodium Chloride) sodium/water imbalance

Major Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility. Applicable conditions: Fluid Retention, Congestive Heart Failure

Sodium chloride can induce sodium and water retention and result in hypernatremia, hypokalemia, edema and aggravation of congestive heart failure. Therapy with sodium- containing agents should be administered with extreme caution, if at all, in patients with congestive heart failure, severe renal insufficiency, and in clinical states where there is edema with sodium retention. Clinical monitoring of acid/base balance and electrolytes prior to, during, a following completion of therapy with sodium- containing agents is recommended.

Moderate

LVP solution with potassium (applies to Potassium Chloride in Sodium Chloride) hyperkalemia

Moderate Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility. Applicable conditions: Renal Dysfunction

Solutions containing potassium ions should be used with great care, if at all, in patients with hyperkalemia, severe renal failure, and in conditions in which potassium retention is present.
