A patient suffering from prolymphocytic leukaemia was found to have extremely high serum potassium levels. The mechanism of the apparent biochemical change was investigated and was found to be a spurious abnormality related to in vitro lysis of the large mass of lymphocytes. This in vitro observation has been termed pseudohyperkalaemia and should not be mistaken for genuine disturbances that need treatment.
一名患有幼淋巴细胞白血病的患者被发现血清钾水平极高。对这一明显生化变化的机制进行了研究，发现这是一种与大量淋巴细胞体外溶解相关的假性异常。这种体外观察结果被称为假性高钾血症，不应与需要治疗的真正紊乱相混淆。
