► This video dives into the critical topic of pseudohyperkalemia, a condition where potassium levels appear falsely elevated due to factors unrelated to the patient’s actual health status. Learn how this phenomenon occurs, often during or after a blood draw, due to events like hemolysis, thrombocytosis, or leukocytosis.

Discover why proper blood draw techniques and careful evaluation of lab results are essential to avoid misdiagnosis. Whether it’s hemolysis during sample handling or the effects of a high white cell or platelet count, this video provides a clear explanation to help medical professionals distinguish pseudohyperkalemia from true hyperkalemia.

As a healthcare professional or student, understanding this distinction is vital for providing accurate patient care. Watch now to solidify your knowledge and enhance your diagnostic skills in handling potassium-related lab findings.
