Hyperkalemia is a potentially fatal condition found most often in kidney dialysis patients that causes pain, severely erratic pulse, and tissue swelling throughout the body. Hyperkalemia is the result of extremely high levels of potassium in the blood and, in an emergency, can be treated with an injection of calcium chloride. However, since calcium chloride destroys surrounding tissues if it escapes from a vein, doctors overwhelmingly prefer preventative treatments.
Which of the following can most logically be concluded based on the passage above?
Potassium is poisonous except in very small amounts.
Since the symptoms of hyperkalemia resemble those of heart attack, the condition is often misdiagnosed.
Calcium supplements are the preferred preventative treatment for hyperkalemia.
The kidneys are at least partially responsible for removing excess potassium from the bloodstream.
Most cases of hyperkalemia result in permanent tissue damage.
Please explain your answers.
