Review

In this elaborate algorithm of acute renal failure with hyperkalemia demonstrates all critical breakpoints in critical care of patient with this condition. Clear correct answers leave no doubt of correct approach and effortlessly combine knowledge of different medical specialties. Simultaneously, incorrect answers have didactic meaning and point out common mistakes that must be avoided. This algorithm represents a good base for young doctors on which we can build further know-how.
