NCT ID NCT07370194
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Aug 27, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study looks at data from over 6,000 Brazilian patients with heart failure, kidney disease, diabetes, or high blood pressure to understand how common high potassium levels (hyperkalemia) are and how doctors manage it. By analyzing medical records, researchers hope to identify risk factors and treatment patterns. The goal is to improve screening and care for this condition.
