description Gates Colbert,1 Shilpa Sannapaneni,1 Edgar V Lerma2 1Department of Internal Medicine, Division of Nephrology, Texas A&M College of Medicine, Dallas, TX, USA; 2Department of Internal Medicine, Division of Nephrology, University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine, Chicago, IL, USACorrespondence: Gates Colbert, 3417 Gaston Ave, Suite 875, Dallas, TX, 75246, Tel +972-388-5970, Fax +972-388-5971, Email Gates.Colbert@BSWHealth.orgAbstract: Hyperkalemia remains one of the most difficult consequences of disease state and treatment for patients with chronic kidney disease, heart failure, and diabetes. Controlling hyperkalemia can be difficult, but has become easier with the introduction of novel oral potassium binders. Patiromer was approved in 2015 for the treatment of hyperkalemia by the FDA in the United States. Several pivotal trials proved its efficacy, safety, and improved tolerability compared with previous hyperkalemia treatments. Additionally, many real-world publications and trials have given deeper insights into the capabilities of patiromer. We discuss improved disease state outcomes with combining patiromer with RAASi. This paper will also highlight new trials forthcoming that are highly anticipated to expand the possibilities in using patiromer to improve outcomes and populations.Keywords: hyperkalemia, chronic kidney disease, patiromer, proteinuria
