A Challenging Case of Pseudohyperkalemia in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia.
- 2017
Pseudohyperkalemia is an uncommon finding in chronic lymphocytic leukemia. It is a misleading condition that could lead to iatrogenic hypokalemia when unwarranted treatment is administered. We describe an interesting case of pseudohyperkalemia in severe leukocytosis and how we identified it.
