(standard treatment).', 'detailedDescription': 'Hyperkalemia is a potentially life-threatening condition associated with ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac arrest. It is common in patients with some comorbidities such as chronic kidney disease, congestive heart failure, cardiovascular disease, diabetes or liver disease. Most of these patients should receive drugs that block the renin angiotensin aldosterone system (RAASi) and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRA), that increase the risk of hyperkalemia.\n\nFor these reasons, relatively few patients receive maximum doses of RAASi / MRA. The dose and its usage decline following an hyperkalemia episode. However, RAASi / MRA discontinuation because of hyperkalemia, represents an undesirable clinical scenario, loosing their potential cardiorenal and nephroprotective benefit. Patients on submaximum doses or who discontinued RAASi / MRA have worse outcomes than patients on maximum doses.\n\nIn this study 78 adult patients will be randomized to one of two treatment arms to analyze the proportion of patients achieving sK of \\< 5.5 mEq/L:\n\n* Control group: they will have their treatment with iSRAA and/or ARM withdrawn or tapered, according to standard clinical practice.\n* Experimental group: treatment with iSRAA and/or ARM will be maintained and oral treatment with CSZ (Lokelma) will be added.\n\nThe study will be conducted in 3 periods:\n\n* Patient selection (Visit 0).\n* Randomization (Visit 1).\n* Follow up (Visits 2-7).\n\nAll the patients randomized and completing the treatment assigned will be participating in the study for an stimated period of 90 ± 13 d.
