Core Tip	Blood transfusion is associated with a wide range of potential complications. Among them, the increase of serum potassium levels is sometimes overlooked. Hyperkalemia is a potential deadly complication, especially when the patient has already increased potassium levels at baseline. A number of pathogenetic mechanisms associated with the development of hyperkalemia in patients receiving transfusions are discussed in the present case report. Moreover, the necessary precautions for minimizing the risk of transfusion-induced hyperkalemia are also presented.
