Abstract
BRASH Syndrome is a rare and life-threatening condition marked by the combination of bradycardia, renal failure, atrioventricular (AV) nodal blockade, shock, and hyperkalemia. This case report presents a 79-year-old female with acute kidney injury, hyperkalemia, and severe bradycardia without typical EKG changes associated with hyperkalemia. The aim of this article is to provide a comprehensive overview of BRASH syndrome, including its clinical manifestations, underlying pathophysiology, diagnostic approaches, and management strategies. The patient's presentation, laboratory findings, and response to treatment support the diagnosis of BRASH syndrome. The syndrome's pathogenesis involves a vicious cycle of bradycardia, renal failure, AV nodal blockade, and hyperkalemia, necessitating early recognition and prompt management to prevent life-threatening complications. Increased awareness and understanding among healthcare providers are crucial for improved patient outcomes in BRASH syndrome cases.
