P15 KE-P15 · inpatient visit

One row per condition family: what the record supports under the published definition, what the note states, the visit's diagnosis entries, and an assessment. Codes are coded from the signed documentation; the software never assigns one.

Draft query: Hyperkalaemia

Blocked by the query linter

A non-leading clarification request: clinical indicators with their sources, an open question, several options plus "other" and "unable to determine". No code and no payment word; the same indicators cannot be queried twice.

DOCUMENTATION QUERY (draft) for KE-P15 · potassium
Title: Clarification request: potassium results
Encounter: KE-P15   Patient: P15   To: author of the draft note
From: (no named sender: sign in to send)
Date: 2026-11-13   Rule versions: ukka2026_hyperkalaemia@1.0, library_default_set@1.0   Check run: LRUN-00015

Clinical indicators from the health record:
- Potassium 5.8 mmol/L (2026-11-12 15:00) [measurement LM-P15-02]

Question:
Based on your independent clinical judgement, how would you describe the clinical significance of the potassium results listed above?

Response options (select one or write your own):
( ) Hyperkalemia
( ) Not clinically significant for this encounter
( ) Other (please specify): ____________
( ) Unable to determine

Please respond based on your independent clinical judgement. Any response, including "unable to determine", is acceptable. This query and your response are kept as part of the health record.

Mild hyperkalaemia (5.5–5.9 mmol/L)

  • potassium serum 5.8 mmol/L 2026-11-12 15:00 · LM-P15-02

Window: 14 days before the check.

Hyperkalaemia and its severity (UK Kidney Association, July 2026 update)

ukka2026_hyperkalaemia@1.0
It is further classified by severity into mild (5.5-5.9 mmol/l), moderate (6.0-6.4 mmol/l) or severe (≥ 6.5 mmol/l).

UK Kidney Association, Clinical Practice Guidelines: Treatment of Acute Hyperkalaemia in Adults (2026) · Introduction, document page 9 (PDF page 10) · source

Contested: The guideline itself says 'There is no universally accepted definition of hyperkalaemia'; it adopts the ERC threshold of 5.5 mmol/L. CTCAE grades differ (see ctcae6_hyperkalaemia).

Not encoded: Pseudohyperkalaemia (guideline 15.3: haemolysis, delayed analysis, sampling technique) is not detected; a haemolysed sample is graded like any other unless the sender withholds it. Acute versus chronic (persistent) hyperkalaemia and the guideline's repeat-testing intervals (guidelines 1.2.1-1.2.3) are not encoded. ECG changes and clinical context are not assessed.

Not encoded: Septic shock also requires sepsis (suspected or documented infection with an acute increase in SOFA ≥2), persisting hypotension requiring vasopressors to maintain MAP ≥65 mm Hg, and adequate volume resuscitation; none of these is assessed. This entry never says septic shock is present. Timing of the lactate relative to resuscitation is not checked; the most recent value is used.
