People thinking lactate ringers will increase your potassium more than NS and avoiding it in mild hyperkalemia of 4.8 to 5.4 range. Gets annoying.


Not to mention the hyperchloremic acidosis you get from NS.


That's actually the mechanism that NS worsens hyperkalemia...through the acidosis. Whereas LR, a balanced solution, doesn't effect it. There's 3 RCTs that prove this. If anyone wants more info, Google th topic and add Josh Farkas...he had a great post on emcrit about this.
