Clinical description FP is an asymptomatic condition that presents through blood tests as unexpectedly high plasma potassium levels, after storage at or below room temperature. [orpha.net]

The present mapping work confirms this relationship, and the comparison of temperature effects shows that different thermotropic variants can be due to mutations of what is almost certainly the same gene. [bloodjournal.org]

Of note, both patients presented as blood donors, and increased cold-induced potassium leak was demonstrated. [ash.confex.com]

OMIM : 57 'Familial pseudohyperkalemia' (PSHK) is a term that was coined to describe conditions in which a patient presents with pseudohyperkalemia as a result of a temperature-based abnormality in the transport of potassium (K) and sodium (Na) across [malacards.org]

However, pseudohyperkalaemia is a common laboratory artefact and, if unrecognised, may lead to a dilemma. 1 2 Workup for falsely elevated potassium levels may lead to delay in treatment and waste of resources. [hkmj.org]

The clinical necessity of routine potassium testing in healthy normal individuals without renal dysfunction or symptoms of hyperkalemia or hypokalemia needs to be discussed and addressed in each laboratory and clinical practice, since workup algorithms [jalm.aaccjnls.org]

Furthermore, the authors suggest that if the above workup is inconclusive for cause, a renal biopsy should be performed. [renalfellow.blogspot.com]

The classification is useful in the sense that there was a statistically significant correlation between IgA subclass and renal survival (with subclass I having the best prognosis and subclass V having the worst prognosis). [renalfellow.blogspot.com]

Etiology All families identified so far have mutations in the ABCB6 gene (2q36), leading to an inherited abnormality in the movement of ions across the red cell membrane, such that when the red cells are cooled they lose potassium into the plasma. [orpha.net]

Rule out etiologies of reactive thrombocytosis. If etiology is identified, then treat underlying disease or remove inciting process. Your patient may have pseudohyperkalemia on serum basic metabolic panel as high as 9 milliequivalents/liter (mEq/L). [clinicaladvisor.com]
