Background: Adverse events associated with high-dose trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) for outpatient infections, particularly those likely caused by community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, have not been adequately characterized. Objective: Describe hyperkalemia and acute renal injury associated with high-dose TMP-SMX. Methods: An electronic medical record database retrospective study was conducted of outpatients receiving high-dose on low-dose TMP-SMX, comparing the incidences of hyperkalemia and acute renal injury. Results: Of 6162 patients, more developed hyperkalemia (3.06% vs 1.05%, P58 years (odds ratio [OR] = 3.44; 95% CI = 1.86-7.0; p
