However, their benefits are often undermined in everyday clinical practice because fear of hyperkalemia leads to dose reduction or discontinuation. With the new potassium binders patiromer and sodium zirconium cyclosilicate (SZC), a well-studied strategy is now available for the first time that can overcome precisely this limitation: not to lower potassium for its own sake, but to enable and maintain life-prolonging RAASi therapy. The rapid rise of finerenone\u2014with hyperkalemia as a key safety signal\u2014lends new clinical urgency to this topic.   <\/strong><\/p>\n\n<div class=\"pmpro\"><div class=\"pmpro_card pmpro_content_message\"><div class=\"pmpro_card_content\">Dieser Inhalt ist nur f\u00fcr Benutzer der Gruppe: Medizinische Fachperson zug\u00e4nglich <br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/medizinonline.com\/en\/my-account\/packages\/\">Jetzt beitreten<\/a><\/div><div class=\"pmpro_card_actions pmpro_font-medium\">Already a member? <a href=\"https:\/\/medizinonline.com\/en\/log-in\/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fmedizinonline.com%2Fen%2Fpotassium-binders-as-enablers-of-raasi-optimization%2F\">Log in here<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) inhibitors\u2014including mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs)\u2014are among the most effective tools in cardiorenal medicine.
