BRASH syndrome is characterized by bradycardia, renal insufficiency, atrioventricular nodal blockade, shock, and hyperkalemia.
A case report detailed a 66-year-old female with diabetes and hypertension who presented with symptoms including vomiting and weakness.
Laboratory findings indicated hyperkalemia, acute kidney injury, metabolic acidosis, and bradycardia with a prolonged QTc on ECG.
Treatment involved discontinuing AV nodal-blocking drugs, managing hyperkalemia, and initiating renal replacement therapy due to worsening renal failure.
BRASH syndrome diagnosis is clinical, with treatment focusing on managing hyperkalemia and addressing underlying triggers like dehydration.
