This study aims to increase the understanding of Hyperkalemia (HK) management, treatment patterns, and the treatment decision-making process for the management of patients with HK over a period of up to 12 months. The generation of real-world evidence (RWE) to understand the treatment management decision rationale and to prospectively describe patient characteristics, treatment management patterns among patients with HK is of importance to improve adherence to guidelines and improve patient care. The primary objective: • Describe HK management decisions, their rationale and treatment expectations. The secondary objective: • Describe baseline characteristics and longitudinal clinical variables in patients with HK. The exploratory objective: • Describe patient awareness and satisfaction with their HK treatment management across the study period.
