How are glucose and insulin used to treat hyperkalemia associated with acute renal failure?

How are glucose and insulin used to treat hyperkalemia associated with acute renal failure?

▸ Glucose has an osmotic effect, which attracts water and sodium, resulting in more dilute blood and a lower potassium concentration.

▸ When insulin transports glucose into the cell, it also carries potassium with it.

▸ Potassium attaches to receptors on the cell membrane of glucose and is carried into the cell.

▸ Increasing insulin causes ketoacidosis, which causes potassium to move into the cell in exchange for hydrogen.
