The parameters for coding hyperkalemia are: a K+ of greater than 6.5 '''OR''' any elevated K+ that is being treated.  This change is active as of Feb 12, 2018.
*The single criterion for coding this is K+ >=6.0
*Presence/absence of signs or symptoms are not part of the coding criterion, though they are:
**cardiovascular - conduction abnormalities, ECG changes * V-fib, asystole
**ECG changes: tented T's * wide QRS; long PR * small, wide P's, sine wave
**neuromuscular - weakness, paresthesias * flaccid paralysis
*If it's due to a drug effect, then code that also (see the 2 lists below).
