paged overnight for a potassium of 5.3 in a dialysis patient who has dialysis orders this morning. they wanted to know if he needed lokelma. i'm running on ~3 hours of sleep for the fourth day in a row because people think i am the fastest and most appropriate resource for their inane questions

Is that interesting?

Insurance: SCZ/lokelma denied.

Me: Rx alternative patiromer

Insurance: patiromer denied, other drugs that can be used are szc/lokelma

Lmao GoodRx not even trying. None of these innovative or disruptive “business solutions” will ever solve the problem of medication price gouging.

May be a Peds neph newb question why lokelma and not Veltassa? #NephJC

“…let’s go ahead and hold that lokelma you wanted to give.”

TBH i think either are fine

this study was funded by AZ, maker of Lokelma

Why are they taking him to dialysis before trying lokelma

Omg Rachel just enjoy the damn show

Oops - right, said patiromer and meant Lokelma.

The other day: Lokelma, not preferred, cost: $30

Preferred: Kayexalate, $60

For the same supply. What???

When we have hyperK pop up in our CKD pts my comfort level has gone up a lot with hyperK with the availability of Veltassa/Lokelma (in addition to all the other stuff)

Often faster to get K down outpt than a trip to the ER if pt stable, have access to K binder

Using the above I don’t use Lokelma/Veltassa often for hyper K pts w/ CKD on GDMT but it does come up

Want to keep DASH style eating going so a K binder is nice option vs draconian dietary K restriction (which may not all that helpful in lowering K)

Close - reducing another element - potassium

Lokelma aka Sodium Zirconium Cyclosilicate

Kayexylate sucks. The new generation binders are better tested and better tolerated.

Big fan of sodium zirconium cyclosilicate (Lokelma)

And patiromer (Veltasa)

This made me laugh harder than it probably should have

(I have verified so much Lokelma recently)
