Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: INTRODUCTION: Bradycardia, Renal failure, Atrioventricular nodal blockade, Shock, Hyperkalemia (BRASH syndrome) is commonly misdiagnosed in the emergency department, which can lead to a delay in care and poor patient outcomes. CASE REPORT: We present a case of BRASH syndrome in a patient with no underlying renal disease, which further complicated diagnosis and delayed treatment. CONCLUSION: Prompt recognition of the underlying pathophysiology in cases of BRASH syndrome is essential to guide treatment and avoid delays in care.
