  • The PRECEDE-K study group
Background

Hyperkalaemia (HK) is a potentially life-threatening electrolyte imbalance associated with several adverse clinical outcomes and is common in patients with kidney failure. However, there is no evidence on the occurrence, recurrence, and treatment of HK in patients on haemodialysis (HD) in China.

Methods

The HK Prevalence, Recurrence, and Treatment in Haemodialysis Trial (PRECEDE-K; NCT04799067) is a prospective, multicentre, observational cohort study being conducted across 18 sites in China. Approximately 600 patients with end-stage kidney disease on HD are anticipated to be enrolled and will be followed up with for 24 weeks. Patients will be in the long interdialytic interval (LIDI) at enrolment and will receive follow-up care every four weeks in LIDI for pre-dialysis and post-dialysis (at enrolment only) serum potassium measurements. To obtain pre-dialysis serum potassium levels in the short interdialytic interval (SIDI), a follow-up visit in SIDI in Week 1 will be performed. Concomitant medications, blood gas analysis, and biochemistry measurements will be obtained at enrolment and at each follow-up visit.

Results

The primary endpoint is the proportion of patients experiencing any HK (defined as serum potassium > 5.0 mmol/L) at the study enrolment or during a 24-week follow-up. The key secondary endpoint is the proportion of patients experiencing HK recurrence (defined as any HK event after the first HK event) within 1–6 months (if applicable) during a 24-week follow-up, including enrolment assessment.

Conclusion

PRECEDE-K will generate high-quality evidence on the occurrence, recurrence, and treatment pattern of HK in patients on HD in China, and is expected to help inform practice guidance for HK management.
