The median BK and HK levels were 5.0 (4.5\u20135.3) and 6.8 (6.6\u20137.1) mEq\/L, respectively. The most frequent ECG changes in hyperkalaemia were peaked T waves (35.7%), followed by prolonged PR interval (12.1%), bradycardia (12.0%), widened QRS duration (7.8%), escape rhythm (7.1%), second\u2010 or third\u2010degree atrioventricular block (3.5%), and ventricular arrhythmias (0.7%). Logistic regression analyses adjusted for potential confounders demonstrated that both the below\u2010median BK and above\u2010median HK levels were associated with an increased likelihood of developing ECG changes (odds ratio [OR], 4.61; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.44\u20138.72 and OR, 2.28; 95% CI, 1.34\u20133.89, respectively), as was a greater BK\u2013HK level difference (OR, 6.85; 95% CI, 3.68\u201312.77).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>BK levels as well as HK levels were significant predictors of ECG abnormalities.
