Renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system inhibitors (RAASi) are guideline‐recommended therapy for individuals with cardiorenal disease. They are associated with increased risk of hyperkalaemia, a common and life‐threatening disorder for this population. RAASi‐induced hyperkalaemia often leads to dose reduction or discontinuation, reducing cardiorenal protection. Guideline recommendations differ between specialties for the clinical management of hyperkalaemia. Using a modified Delphi method, we developed consensus recommendations for optimal management of hyperkalaemia in adults with cardiorenal disease.
