My 30 yr old daughter just called me because she received her blood test results from a complete blood panel her PCP had done and everything looked good except her Potassium level was 5.9. The Drs. office told her they couldn t see her until 2-16 and at that point they would go over her test results. Needless to say this worries me since 5.9 Potassium is rather high. Any suggestions????????
Hello, Elevated potassium means hyperkalemia. It has so many causes including kidney failure, hormonal imbalance, or any other medications. Depending on the cause management varies accordingly. My suggestion, please consult a general physician and undergo the tests like kidney function tests, glucose levels, and so on. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
