Abstract
Errors in potassium measurement can lead to falsely elevated potassium level that is pseudo hyperkalemia. Usually these errors are recognized either by the clinicians or laboratory personals. The factors which causes pseudo hyperkalemia can mask hypokalemia by pushing low value to normal value, which is very difficult identify by laboratory personals. In this article we are discussing the causes and mechanisms of spuriously elevated potassium.
